Make it Monday #210

The challenge at Make it Monday is to use vellum to soften patters. I have this pack of design papers from Gina K Designs that I have not used because it is so bold.  Often that much design, just takes away form the design of the card.  This is a great solution to that problem.  I will get right to it.
































I am happy with how this turned out.  Here is what I used.

GKD Ocean Mist card stock and Design paper, Ang and Me
PTI Vellum, Sheer Basics Pattern Pack
Simon Says die Stitched Slopes and Hills
PTI banner die, Tinsel and Tags
Sentiment PTI, Phrase Play #11
Jewels from my stash and flower and butter fly fussy cut from the design paper fro accents

I hope that you like it too, and thanks so much for dropping in and leaving a comment.  I really appreciate them. 
That will be all of the crafting for me this week.  We are off on another adventure, but I will be watching to see what you are doing.

    I love what you did here, used the bold paper beautifully. Even to fussy cutting the bloom on the vellum. Lovely!

    Barbara, this is AWESOME! Yes that paper may be bold, but wow you really worked it with the design of your card, the added vellum and I love the tag and the flowers as accessories! Really stunning!

    Oh I love this! Great idea with those beautiful papers! Love how you trimmed the Vellum too with that beautiful die! I like that little flower and butterfly as accents, sooooo pretty! Nice banner and embossing too! LOVE it I tell you!!! (I made mine yesterday and trimmed the Vellum with a die too--great minds and all!)

    This is stunning. Love that dark patterned paper against the light blue card base. And your striped vellum panel just makes the card sing. Stripes and florals - one can never go wrong.

    Your bold design paper and the vellum worked out SO beautifully together...I just LOVE this card!! I always gravitate to the bold patterned papers when I see them, but like you, I end up never using them because they compete with my stamping. I'm going to go dig them all out right now and get busy....thank you for the inspiration!! :0)

    this is really lovely and definitely the perfect solution to the paper problem (that paper is so darned pretty but i can see it would be hard to use)

    This is so gorgeous and I love how you fussy cut the images from the pattern paper to pop over the vellum overlay.

    I love the images you cut out from the patterned paper; great idea!! The vellum is perfect to soften the area for your greeting and cut outs. And your blue banner and card base look amazing with that paper. Great card!

    Oh the velum is perfect on that PP. I love that you used the vellum with the designs. It creates such an interesting effect. Using a flower an the butterfly from the paper really ties the whole thing together.
