Here we are again for Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop! Woo-hoo! Thank you all for visiting, and I hope you are having fun!
The challenge for this month was to use vellum on your project. My first thought - YIKES! I don't like vellum (well at least I thought I didn't :-P). I have so many packages and rolls of vellum that up until now I never used (kind of like that paper crimper we all have and haven't used in years - you know the one...). But after just a few short days I had so many ideas flowing I was writing things down in the middle of the night! I just had no time to implement them :-( So I went with my first thought and I hope you enjoy it. But be warned... now that the vellum is out, you will be seeing more of it!!!
I actually used Taylor Vanbruggen's Cupcake Challenge Sketch #25 from about a week ago - cute sketch. I punched the flowers out with two different EK Success flower punches. I used plain old see-through vellum that I had on hand to make the large flowers. I smooshed them into Versamark, and pounced some Pebbles Shimmery Chalks onto them and sprayed them LIGHTLY (from a good distance) with some acrylic sealant to make the chalk stay better.
The small blue flowers are made from a roll of Martha Stewart blue vellum called Ice Water (which I got for $1 at a Michaels Clearance sale about six months ago!) Then I glued some pearls on to add a little elegance.
This card is very pretty in real life, not so sure I captured the shimmer and the softness in the pictures. I tried :-)
Simple, soft, shimmery and so worth it! I had a lot of fun, and have a lot of ideas. Thanks for the challenge!
Well, I was so glad to have you here tonight. Hope you have a fabulous night and an even better weekend!
What I Used:
Paper: Kraft, Cream (Papertrey Ink), Patterened Paper Prima Paper Sasha Collection, Ice Water Vellum (Martha Stewart), Clear Vellum (?)
Stamps: PTI Quilter's Sampler Sentiments

Accessories: Pebbles Shimmer Chalks, Half-Pearls (MAMBI), Scallop punch (Martha Stewart), Scotch foam tape, Aqua Mist Satin ribbon, embroidery floss (to tie ends of ribbon), EK Success Flower Punches, Ek Success Corner Rounder

If your picture does not capture how pretty your card is, then it must be GORGEOUS in person. I love the colors and the design. Nice take on Taylor's sketch.

Very pretty and a great use of some many cool tools....where is that crimper I bought so long ago---thanks for reminding me I have it! ; }
Awesome card! I will drag my chalks out now and experiment with them again! :)
You are so talented. I still have the 40th birthday card you made me. One of my favorites! (1,2,3, floor).
And what I'm really jealous about more than your crafting abilities, is that you got 42 comments on your blog! That is enough to get me to make a card!
Hi Kacey! Your talent continues to amaze me. This is a beautiful card.
