I do love a good use of the vellum. Today's use will be a bit of insight in how I like to work! A Bridal Shower:
In the example here an image of the event location was reworked to mimic old brick. Our hostess was "in the know" about the bride's colors - chocolate brown & a mossy green. It was important the shower invitation reflect the bride's taste.
We chose a textured, brown paper for the backing and I used a dark, chocolate brown for the text. The restaurant uses cobalt blue glass as its "signature color" hence, the use of cobalt on the invitation.
The text and image were printed on vellum and attached with spray adhesive to the paper backing.
