This month as part of the Be Inspired Design Team, we are talking about vellum.
While I use vellum for SO MANY THINGS....
But I use it most of the time to "tone pattern or colour down".
So, this Garden Impressions 6x6 paper pad is not my thing. But I love the colours in it. The bright blue is gorgeous and will a little vellum it gave me exactly what I needed to create this background for my card.
This card is a smash up of several products from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. It's the definition of creating a card out of your leftovers! This uses Little Twinkle Stamp Set, Free Cake Stamp Set and the Celebrate You Thinlets!
But don't stop here, check out the whole blog hop starting with my Canadian friend, Carolynn Sander, who lives on the opposite of the country as me!
