Default Faux Vellum

I recently saw a card that stated it was done using the Faux Vellum technique. I couldn't tell enough about the card online to figure out exactly what this technique is. Could someone point me to some directions? TIA!!

kimilou, I think tara meant she is 'subscribing' to this thread. Sorry, I don't know what Faux Vellum is either. Maybe someone will enlighten us soon!
Many blessings, Stormy

Default Tracing paper?

Sometimes tracing paper is referred to as Faux Vellum. It's cheap and quick, but has a way different texture. I use tracing paper from a little kids' tablet. Here is a card that I just now remembered to upload, thanks to your question. Thinking of You

But, I am not sure what faux vellum technique is. But this card, Faux Breeze, mentions using baby oil on light colored cardstock. Maybe you could send her a PM to get more specific instructions

Thanks Stormy. The card I had seen it on didn't appear to have any layers so it made it hard to figure out. Thanks! This should help me!!
