A PLACE TO START JULY CHALLENGE - ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: VELLUM

Time for another great challenge at A Place to Start this month.

The Challenge this month as always is Anything Goes with an optional Twist. This month's twist is to use vellum in your design. 





The vellum I used for this card has gold flex's in the design.  The embossing folder I used was an old one from my stash. I used blue background paper, Copic markers for colouring , vellum butterflies from some left over vellum from my staff. I also added some gems to give the card some sparkle.  I used a thin black sharpie to add a border on the card. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month. Hope you will join us this month at A Place to Start.

Vellum Card Challenge





This is my inspirational card for the vellum challenge at Fitztown this week.  It has been awhile since I have used vellum on a card. I love how velum give a card such a soft look. 

I used this pretty image called Mystical Fae 2 from Morgan Fitzsimon's collection at Fitztown, you can find the image here. 

I die cut the vellum background with my new stitch die and made the velum flower with a couple of flower punches that I added rubbed some Inka Gold on give some interest.  

 You have still lots of time to join in this challenge. Just create your card and enter it here. Thank you for stopping to take a look.
