 "Magic
with Vellum - Translucents" by Dolores Frantz for Design Originals
(March, 2002)
This 35 page
book is designed to give ideas and techniques for using vellums
or translucent papers in scrapbook pages.
The book is
divided into several sections by technique. While each pattern includes
instructions for the vellum element, instructions/patterns for other
elements are also included, so that this book has quite a few paper
piecing pattersn as well. These include:

Each new technique
is described in text with accompanying step by step photos and also
helpful tips are given when needed. This book is good value - in
one book you are getting several new techniques for dealing with
vellum and also a number of paper piecing patterns as well. There
are also tips to help you get the most out of your vellum eg which
adhesives to use and how to use them, how to add depth using a variety
of materials and shading techniques and much more.
Each design
also comes with an accompanying layout showing how the pattern looks
in a completed page.
Overall, I think
this book is good value for people looking to use vellum in other
ways than just for journalling or titles.
