very vellum

Seize the Birthday is playing with transparency/vellum this week (courtesy of Ashwini). Thanks for the great challenge. I chose vellum as it just seemed to fit the feel of my card.  Please ignore my slightly tipsy 'happy' ... guess it got into my martini from last time! Loved putting the stitching on this (it's a great way to attach the vellum), especially since this is one of the few things I've sewed lately that wasn't a mask! 

Hope you are able to play along and have some fun with this! Be sure to check out all of the fun creations from the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guest Julie Peddicord!  This is Julie's last week with us.  Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us Julie!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a terrific day and wonderful weekend.

celebrate you

Hey crafty friends! We are having a little reprieve from the fall weather with a whole bunch of sunshine this week!  I'm a summer lover so I'll take the warm temperatures.  I actually don't mind the rain in the winter either though... better than snow!

Seize the Birthday is 'topping free' so I started mucking around with some watercolouring and a vellum layer.  Hope you like it!

big hugs

Hope you're having a great day crafty friends.  Spring seems to be arriving so that puts a big smile on my face.  This week at Seize the Birthday, we are highlighting teal as our topping/option.  This is not a colour I normally use so it was a bit of a challenge.  Stayed pretty simple and I like how it turned out.

All the details for playing along is on the blog.  Our Surprise Party Guest for the next couple of months is Kim Lackenbach.  Be sure to give her, and the rest of the DT, some crafty love.

Always appreciate your comments! Thanks for stopping by.

Happiest of Birthdays

Happy Thursday crafters!  Hope you're having a terrific week.  We are playing with vellum over at Seize the Birthday this week.  Kept my card pretty simple - just using white embossing powder for the sentiment on the vellum.  I attached the vellum using twine, used a stitched die along the bottom of the vellum and coloured the pearls with a Copic marker.

Hope you can play along with us this week.  All the rules are on the blog.  Be sure to give the rest of the DT some love while you are there too!

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.
