Hello Friends, How are you? Today I am sharing a fun vellum tip and the winner of the Penny Black Giveaway. My
May 2013 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp was still out on my craft table therefore, it was easy to design a quick card with the beautiful papers & vellum from the
card kit.
Penny Black has really been rocking their stamps and it's not an exaggeration when I say that I need them all.
This sweet yet whimsical stamp called
"Mona Lisa" is so unique and fun!
I used a "Project Life" type die cut called,
"Life Bubble Vertical" to use on my card instead of a scrap album. I love the
outline die cut that frames the Life Bubble. (check out the vertical bubble
here &
here) the sentiment words are from
this die cut. The background paper was very busy so I put a 40lb piece of vellum on top of the busy paper and instantly it gave my card a soft elegant look. I decided so sew the vellum down and this is the fun part..... I tucked the "Oh Happy" down behind the vellum so that only the one word would stand out.
(if I was a planner then I wouldn't be tucking the words behind the vellum...I would just be glueing them under the vellum..lol) Vellum really adds so much to a card especially if it's the right weight. I colored Mona Lisa with Copics and added a big blob of
Enamel Accents on her necklace.
