My friend, Katie used a leaf, oak tree as her art element for her fall wedding. A tree she created was used on all of her favors. The colors were perfect.
Chi, printed back and front of velum. Tied up all elements with a red thread and rice paper, used a little piece of torn red paper on the back of the envelope in lieu of a seal, and mailed it all in a beautiful vellum envelope. It was stunning!
Invitation was printed on both sides of vellum, this is a flower image only on the back, invitation and text on the front. The flower printed on back shown through the text.
Very Nice! Question: I am doing some scrapbooking and am trying to print on vellum for that project. The ink doesn't want to dry. Is there a specific ink to use in an inkjet printer?
ReplyDeleteHi there - Chi here !
ReplyDeleteA few things about vellum that make it difficult to work with:
1. It does not have natural fibers for ink to grab onto
2. Its finishing process and chemicals also make it difficult for ink to settle (lots of plastic and wax).
After a few experients on different printers, I discovered high-quality laser printers work the best. On bubble-jets, I found allot of bleeding and the ink running all over the place. A really important thing that high-quality laser printers do is "heat-set" the ink after it has been set on the paper/vellum - this process prevents the ink from bleeding and running.
If you do not have a high-quality laser printer at home (they are really expensive), I suggest printing your designs on regular white paper and bringing the printout and your vellum to a digital printshop (kinkos, office depot, etc). Ask them to color copy your designs on the vellum.
Thanks Kim for the feature. Love you !

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea! Is there any chance of finding out where you got the flower pic? I've been looking everywhere on the net with not much success. Is it a flower that you found with a white background? Or did you take it yourself?
Thank you!
Isabelle
I think that is mine friends, but do you want a silouette of a flower or a real flower?
ReplyDeleteI have tons of flowers on flickr

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one ,so that when we
ReplyDeletefinally meet the person , we will know how to be grateful.
