Vellum????

Good morning blogworld,

It's time for a new challenge over at MAWTT our lovely teamie Wendy has chosen the theme 'use parchment or vellum'.  Hmmmm, welll, here's the thing - I don't have any parchment and I haven't used vellum for years!!!!!

So, for me, this was quite a challenge - and then when you see what my teamies have created, I've not been that creative!  I'm sure there are lots of you out there who will do so much better!

Anyway - this is my card:

The Front shot:

Trying to show the vellum on the butterfly:

Another angle (and I forgot the Close Up shot!):

I used:
Digi stamp:
All Dressed Up - Three Little Party Girls
coloured with Copics
Sentiment stamps - Lili of the Valley

Dies:
Go-Kreate
Memory Box - butterfly
Nestie - for the image

Papers:
Scraps again - First Edition (I think)

Everything else (did you notice I threw the kitchen sink at it?)
Wild Orchid Crafts - flowers
Hobby House - Pearl swirls
Metal corners and flower ribbon - from my stuff

Really you should go and see my teamies creations - they were much more creative with vellum than I was!

Looking forward to seeing your entries in the challenge,

Sarah
