Good Morning Ladies ~ today I am having some vellum fun on my card.
Well I have 3 days of walking! I walked late last night after it cooled off a little. I did not get to work in my flower beds as I had Remi while Zoie was at dance class. I am going to try and work some more later this afternoon as it is not supposed to be as hot as it has been. Then I will walk again later in the evening. I have workshops this morning or I would walk early. That will give me 4 days this week – I don’t walk on Saturday or Sunday. Not bad for just starting this week!
Today I am playing along with the challenge at House of Cards. We were to use vellum or acetate.
I ordered the Affectionately Yours ds paper on my preorder. I saw it on the flyer and thought it looked good. When I got it, there are several papers in there that were just too bright for my liking. I decided to use a layer of vellum from my Sale-abration stack on top to tone it down. I did use my vellum tape but it still shows through. I have never had that happen so I wonder if it is because it is older. Anyone have any ideas?
After I have my base completed, I needed to work on the elements for the front of my card. I decided to use the Grateful Bunch and do a set of flowers. I stamped the single flower on Watermelon Wonder and cut it out. I then stamped the smaller flowers on the triple stamp with Watermelon Wonder on white and punched them out. I stamped the leaf spray with Cucumber Crush and attached the flowers. I used the Cucumber Crush marker and selectively inked the Thank You stamp. I then stamped it and punched it out with my washi tape punch. Here is my completed card.
