Thanks for the great tips! Flipping the vellum over to attach to card panel is great & then thin catdstock straps to hold down, smart!

[@susanmcallister8068]

Beautiful!! Did you let the glue dry before adding the flakes? Thanks!

[@meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura]

Thanks so much for watching Susan! Yes you need to wait a minute or so just for the glue to set otherwise it slides all over the vellum. You can get away with adding the flakes straight away on card but I found on vellum you just need to wait a minute. Especially if the glue looks a bit thick when you apply it. I hope that helps!

[@traceya6401]

I was wondering about cleaning the glue off the stamp ... would the tombow green glue work here? This is an awesome technique, thank you so much for sharing.

[@meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ with the stamp it should be washed straight away really with warm water and some mild soap. If you can't wash it straight away then spray it with water to stop the glue drying and then wash it when you can. As for glue, you need a glue that stays tacky when dry I e. Cosmic Shimmer flake and glitter glue, I don't believe the tombow is a tacky when dry glue. I hope that helps! ☺️

[@traceya6401]

Thank you for your reply I appreciate it.

[@Reneesfun]

It’s lovely! Does the glue rinse easily off of the stamp? Thanks 😊

[@meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ yes the glue rinses off if its done straight away. I do not advise letting it dry on the stamp. If I can't wash it straight away I spray it with water until I can ☺️ I hope that helps!
