Its blog hop time! Go here for all the details! This month's challenge was to work vellum. Lucky for me I got my PTI order in time to use some of their beautiful new vellum. I am using the Linen Vellum on these cards.
My idea for this card was to stamp two scenes that would compliment each other when they are both viewed through the vellum. This vellum (Papertrey Ink Linen cardstock vellum) was a little thick for this technique. You can see through it but just barely and no way could I get a picture of it, trust me I tried! However I really do like this card and this vellum. Its very pretty and it takes ink wonderfully. Here I am using birds of a feather stamps in combination with Out on a Limb stamps.
You can really see the weight of the vellum here! It makes a wonderful card base. I just love the look of this card and of course its using my new favorite set, Wise Owl.
I love them BOTH!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant cards,Ilove the colour you have on the bird on the inside of the new beginnings card,
ReplyDeleteOh - I love how this works in the hummingbird card - very clever - really well done. The owls are fab too.
ReplyDeleteMichele,
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight :) Both cards are great. I can't wait to get my hands on the "real" thing. Again, 2 sets that I don't have! You guys are killing me.
How fun, thanks for the ideas
