Hello everyone. Today I am going to talk to you a little bit about a product that sometimes goes a little un-noticed...Vellum. Ruby Rock-It has this wonderful line of Vellum in a variety of patterns and a couple of different sizes. Now I know some of you may shy away from Vellum not really knowing how to adhere it or how to make it pop...well, I am going to share a few tips with you today that are going to make you want to run to the store and pick up all this yummy Ruby Rock-It goodness. Let's get started with the finished product so we can notice the tips I am going to share with you really make this Vellum stand out...

For those of you who are not that all familiar with Vellum it is a translucent crisp type of paper. Since it is translucent it sometimes gets lost on your page so the first tip I am going to share with you is how to make the Vellum not get "lost" on your page. For my layout I was using a soft light background so my vellum kind of blended in. To solve this I scraped up the edges and then used a coordinating color of ink to ink the edges. I also curled up some of the corners and tears. Doing this made the Vellum stand out a bit more. Adhering Vellum can be tricky unless you have the proper tape. Therm o Web has just that. It is a Vellum Tape runner that is a virtually invisible permanent double-sided smooth adhesive. See, you can not see the tape through my Vellum. There are also some spots that I wanted to be a little raised up off the paper, I used Therm o Web's 3D foam adhesive squares. These are not translucent so I made sure I adhered them in a spot that I could put embellishments on top of to cover up the adhesive.
