So I got out my vellum - I hardly ever use it, I don't know why not.
I used a small piece of blue vellum to go behind a diecut frame, then tore it off. I love torn edges.
Then layered a torn brown scrap for the dirt, and a piece of negative leftover scrap for the grass. Talk about using up scraps!
I drew veins on the diecut leaves in two colours of green gel pen, one of them sparkly. Another sparkly gel pen dotted on the sticky-out bits of the flowers. The dragonfly is punched from a tiny iridescent leftover.

Love it Carol and like you say a nice way to use the vellum we all store, I only use mine to tear for a sentiment, how daft, maybe time for a change, haha....xxx

The vellum is beautiful and so is your card. I need to drag mine out some day. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteThis is a great design. Love how you have used the vellum-the torn edge is a great idea and works so well with the brown. The way you have placed the flowers and leaves is so creative-love how some overlap the frame. Wonderful card x

So sweet! I also love the torn edges on your pretty blue Vellum. I also love the look of a simple Vellum die cut (foliage, heart etc) just shoved into a grouping of die cuts lol Your pretty framed flower garden is delightful! Thanks so much for playing along with us again at The Double D, Scraps Challenge, Donna, DT Member.
