Smile with Vellum!

I've joined up with the Online Card Class - learning how to craft with vellum - It's such a beautifully soft way to embellish and I wanted to find more ways to use it.

I'm also entering this card into The Card Concept's inspiration challenge this week - SPRING! Yeehaw if it ever shows up in this neck of the woods - I'll be surprised Lol

I stamped Papertrey Ink's Reasons to Smile stamp set (for some reason I can't find it on the website) with purples and greens and then water coloured around the image just a bit.

I stamped the sentiment with versa mark ink onto a strip of vellum and embossed with gold embossing powder.  That strip was wrapped around the image panel and adhered with Multi Medium Matte at the back.

I also added a bit of the matte glue at the front of the card - behind the vellum - and hid the glue spot with those cute little enamel dots!

I think I really LOVE gold embossing!  Head on over to The Card Concept and try out their challenge - so pretty!
