I received a card looking just like this with other velllum and I just had to duplicate it! To show off the vellum to its fullest, the 1" panel that you see embossed is part of the cardbase with another 1" x 5 1/2" piece behind it that the vellum is sandwiched between. As an alternative, substitute the vellum with a coordinating patterned paper. So very pretty, don't you think? As always, full supplies list below.

Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Folder
Team Make 'n Take card for April featuring this stunning Butterfly Hybrid embossing folder. What is meant by Hybrid? It also had dies that cut out the embossed images! A great pairing of products. This makes up a super quick card with the very detailed embossed layer in Bubble Bath, a few gems and a simple greeting. Enjoy!

Collage Stamping with Natural Botanicals
Here's that Natural Botanicals making an appearance again! Collage stamping is where you randomly (ok not always totally randomly in my case) an image on a layer. I often choose one colour but you can do 2, 3, 4 and more! This was Poppy Parade with a stamped off larger image cut by hand and popped up on the front layer. I love the idea of 3s - 3 colours, 3 stamps, that kind of thing. So with my Poppy Parade I added Basic Gray and Basic White. Hope this brighten's YOUR day!

Delightful Wishes Avid Stampers Card
Sharing one of the Avid Stampers cards from March featuring the Delightful Wishes bundle. Loads of value with this: 14 stamps and 19 dies! It makes the prettiest of floral cards and has coordinating Floral Delight patterned paper. This stem is a die which you can use with other florals in your collection. I laid this grouping onto a layer of the Exposed Brick (all time favourite embossing folder) in Old Olive. We really enjoy making this one at class!

Monthly Card Class Project - Join me on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month!
One of my April Monthly Card Class projects! Gorgeous gold accents on a Pretty Peacock card base with a Basic Black layer to help it pop. In this monthly class you always get to choose alternate greetings to supplement your supply of cards. They're great for the beginner crafter to learn from as well as appreciated by the avid crafter. Never been to a class before? You don't know what you're missing! Bring a new crafter to the in person version and you both take home 3 cards from my stash. This is also available as a Kit to Go but you'll need your own stamps, inks and blocks to complete the cards. Join me on the 2nd Tuesday of the month! REGISTER HERE.
