Do you ever wonder what to do with vellum? It’s such a special type of material. I found a great way to use it. I often take advantage of sales on paper, but the patterns are not always the best. They’re too loud or bright or busy and sometimes they just sit there forever waiting for me to find a photo that matches well.   The same goes for my vellum. I never quite know how to use it.  One day I placed some vellum over a particularly loud patterned paper and low and behold…it softened down the colour and pattern and I was able to create areas of pastel on my layout while leaving other areas  brightly coloured. The 2 dimensional effect is great and I get to use up some of my old stuff!  It is so much easier to match my photos to this softer version of the scrapbooking paper.
