Tips from the show

• Use a tape pen for adhering vellum rather than glue, as glue can show through the translucent material.
• Don't waste offcuts of vellum; even small pieces can be used to create beautiful layered effects.
• Changing the backing card colour behind the vellum creates a totally different look.
