Using Kaszazz Vellum {Day 1}

Old Bear Vellum Overlay Card

Hey everyone,
I have had some fun today, I am no expert when it comes to Vellum, so I tried a heap of idea's and techniques today. Some weren't so successful..lol..like when I carefully painted with water colours...But I have managed to make 2 cards (you'll see the other tomorrow) that I think turned out very nice.
Today's is a simple overlay, I have stamped {904LK} Old Bear Large onto {1913} A4 Vellum using the {72010} Ancient Coal Inkpad - Coal Black, trimmed and then torn the bottom edge. I have then secured this to a piece of SB Paper - Ebony & Ivory - {4798} Ribbon / Stripes using mini brads from the {4737} Embellishment kit - Aged Copper & again trimmed and torn the bottom edge. Matted onto a Mahogany A5 card from the {9878} Castaway Card Pack, I think this card looks stunning for it simplicity.
I have already checked out all the talented papercrafter blogs that have joined our war, very impressive !!!! Loads of fantastic ideas for you all to get your creativity flowing.
Check them out
Don't forget to leave your comments this week I have (3) 12 x 12 Vellum's up for grabs
Today's question is can you tell me what Vellum was originally made from ?

  5. I love this card, but then again I am a big teddybear collector, I need an extra room to hold all my collection. I even downside when I moved interstate.
    Vellum was originally from animal skins mainly calf ,lamb and kids(goats).
    Modern imitation or "paper vellum" is made from plasticized cotton
