Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini has chosen vellum or transparencies as the theme.
Of course, you can always play along with the anything goes birthday option too!
Our party guest Julie and my team mates have some wonderful ideas to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
I diecut a vellum tag for the sentiment as this doesn't interfere with the embossed background.
The butterflies are stamped with versafine clair nocturne ink, clear embossed, fussy cut and coloured with Inktense pencils and a waterbrush.
I've used double sided tape on the vellum under the butterflies to secure the tag to the card.
I'm linking up to some challenges:
Always Fun Challenge, use your favourite product.
Apart from butterfly stamps, I love my Inktense pencils!
Let's Squash It, use a named embossing folder and add an animal.
Supplies:
Hero Arts antique engravings butterfly stamp; Annabelle Stamps sentiment (retired); versafine clair nocturne ink & clear ep; vellum; MFT tag die; Couture Creations entangle embossing folder; Inktense pencils (amber; sienna gold and dark aquamarine).
Thanks for visiting,

That's what I love about vellum - it gives that subtle layer that shows off the background along with letting us create an easy focal point. The butterflies look lovely! Awesome card, Cathy!
