I made this card using Papertrey Chocolate Remix patterned paper and Sweet Blush cardstock and vellum. I colored the chocolate text boxed paper with copic markers. The sentiment is from Everyday Blessings. I stamped the butterfly from Purple Daisy Designs in Versamark on the vellum and embossed with Pink Embossing Glitter from Ranger. I used the coordinating punch from EK Success to punch the butterfly. Gotta love a coordinating punch, uh? The ribbon is satin Papertrey Chocolate . This card was made using this sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge.
I wanted to use the vellum as my card base, so I made another card using Honey Bees and the Linen Vellum, Lavender Moon and Plum Pudding. The butterfly is Guide Lines patterned paper punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I added diamond stickles to the flower centers and the edges of the butterfly. The corners are punched with a Fiskars corner embossing punch, although you can't really see the embossing very well in this picture. The ribbon is satin Papertrey Plum Pudding .
I had the hardest time getting a picture of this card. I think I spent an hour or more just trying to get a good picture. This was the best of the bunch, but I am still not all that excited about it. I came to the conclusion that vellum is not very photogenic.
Thanks for looking!
