I'm soooo excited!! Tonight is my very first time participating the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!!This was the challenge issued for this month's Blog Hop... "With the addition of vellums to our lineup this month, we want to see your very best use of this fun new product, especially our exclusive linen vellum. Embrace the transparency & thickness and use it to your advantage. They die cut beautifully & emboss well when using the Nestabilities. Layer it, stamp it, build with it (think templates for boxes & bags), use it as your card base, brayer it or distress it! The sky is the limit! Even if you do not have our vellums to work with, please feel free to use what you have!" There you have it!

A note-- The vellum I used is not Papertrey Ink's because it was not available to me as of the start of the challenge so I used some from my stash which absorbed the Aqua Mist ink terribly, hence not being able to see the beautiful flowers from the Out on a Limb set that I stamped all over the vellum. :(Supplies used: Everyday Blessings 6x6 designer paper; Stampers Select white cardstock; vellum; Aqua Mist satin ribbon; Out on a Limb (revised) flowers AND sentiment; Aqua Mist ink; crystals.
A note-- This card was made using vellum as the card base. I used my scalloped circle and plain 
circle Nestabilities for the base, as well as for the other layers. The flower is stamped on the white cardstock AND on the vellum (which I cut out) and the edges are kind of turned upwards to give the card some dimension.

Beautiful elegant cards - well done you.
ReplyDeleteCute - love how you're able to use the vellum as a base! It adds so much elegance! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI really really like the first one, I love simple clean lines, both cards are really great tfs >"<
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the simplicity of your first one! And great idea to use the vellum for the card base!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely. Your flower is so cute.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad that your vellum soaked up the aqua mist ink on your first card. But you know what...it is beautiful just the way it looks (if you click on it and make it bigger, you can also see just a bit of the blue...and it looks good too). I especially like the little bit of bling you added!! Funky round card too! very creative. thanks for sharing.
