The Flourishes blog has a Timeless Tuesday challenge each week. This week the challenge was to use vellum on your card. I had a card in my mind and went looking for my pink, blue, and yellow vellum. When I checked my drawer with the vellum in it I couldn’t believe all that I had. I had forgotten all the colors and patterns I had bought in the past. I will definitely need to visit…

I decided to use patterned paper as an added color so the…
