Vellum

Vellum is a semi-transparent paper, made from plasticized cotton. It can be used for various techniques and effects. These techniques include:

Stained Glass

Embossing

Marker Colouring

Chalks

In the photo on the right, patterned vellum was placed behind an acetate layer, and glitter stickers placed on the acetate to give a staned-glass window effect. Paper tole has also been used.
