ABC challenge .. V is for ...

Vellum

Oh boy this has been a challenge for me!! I have purchased the first lot of vellum I have ever owned for this challenge!!

What came to mind was the special weddin and baby albums with the vellum sheets protecting each photo, so I have made my card in that style.

Here's the front. The vellum is attached to the underneath using eyelets, and I have used organza ribbon and puched vellum flowers as the decoration, just as an album front might be decorated.

Inside I created my own background (see later) and watercoloured Tilda. I added glimmer misted flower soft to the basket and the same organza ribbon from the front.

So it stands like this ...

This is the backing paper - I used a Tim Holtz mask and distress the cardstock using antique linen as the base and the tattered rose over the mask. I spritzed it with Frost glimmer mist. The glimmermist reacts with the ink and you get some great colouration.

Do take a peek at the other DT creations.
