Make it Monday's challenge this week is to soften patterns with vellum.
Lizzie Jones has a great video on Nichole's blog here:
Happy Mother's card came about with
the Rosie Posie stamp set.
My bg was created with the daisy from the set, together with Rosie Posie Step 2.
The striped vellum was cut with Bookmark #1,
and my sentiment from Garden Grace.
There's a strip of Chicken Scratch Gingham under the bookmark tag,
tied with twine.
I used the 0 from Number Clips die, completely smitten with this set!
Daisies look a bit orange in the photo,
but they're really Summer Sunrise, even the 2nd step.
The fussy cut is Harvest Gold with Summer Sunrise.
Hawaiian Shores center,
Soft Stone leaves.
Small daisy is Harvest Gold with Aqua Mist centers.
Always fun to learn something new. Thanks Lizzie!
Who knew there was tape especially for vellum? What a great tip!
Ok, if they are still in stock when the softies go on sale you have sold me on those clips. I just placed an order of felt . Love this card for your mom. I know for sure she is getting great meals:) Love the vellum tag, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful - florals and vellum, my two favorite combos
ReplyDeleteThis card just makes me very happy! Love the colors and all of those beautiful flowers. The vellum tag is a perfect touch and I love the gingham strip. Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Great color combo, and I love the flowers, checks and striped vellum mixed together.
ReplyDeleteLove this Nancy - wonderful colors and such a great summer feel! great use of the vellum overlay to soften a portion!
ReplyDeleteSuper gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteNancy, your cards are always so lovely and one of things that I love the most is that they have so much to look at. Does that make sense? Everything works beautifully together, but there is so much interest with all the different details and elements. I love each one, and right now I'm totally loving this one! Thank you so very much for the sweet birthday wish! You brought the biggest smile to my face and completely warmed my heart.
ReplyDeleteOh what a delightful card, Nancy. I love the big bright flower from that set and you managed to work in quite a few. The centers are also so eye catching! That vellum overlay sure does help to soften things doesn't it? Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog!

ReplyDeleteEach and every element and colour is so perfect together, Nancy. You've made a real beauty for this challenge! And I think I need some of that chicken scratch gingham paper, sigh.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh...love this card Nancy!! I love the Rosie Posie set, but never think to use the daisy! Your card is so colorful and just perfect! Love every little detail!! :0)
ReplyDeleteoooo i like that striped vellum with the stamped flowers plus the gingham... so happy and bright but the vellum does its job very nicely

ReplyDeleteOh Nancy, another jaw dropper of a card! I just love your choice of happy colors and the playful strip of gingham in the center. Everything came together on this card perfectly, as always!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Nancy! Perfect details. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgerous! I love every last detail but especially your use of patterns. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Nancy. You totally outdid yourself. I am in love with this card, and wonder how I can live another minute without that Rosie Posie step 2 set. Honesty, you should be on the PTI design team. I love every little detail about this beauty, most especially your flowers and the colors you chose and the gingham.
ReplyDeleteWow, Nancy, I LOVE yours back! This is SO sunny and sensational! I immediately went over to PTI and added that bookmark to my wish list, which I don't recall ever seeing before. I love those slits and really love that you cut it from the striped vellum. The twine, the clip, the colors, the way you stamped the sediment half-on half-off ... MWAH!! Have a great day! Hugs, Darnell
