Prettie Wednesday- Vellum

Happy Wednesday everyone!! Another week half way over, WOOHOOO!! Is it just me, or is time FLYING anymore though? Anyway, Two weeks ago, Christi challenged the Prettie Girls to make a card using vellum. Well, me being me, I assumed that I had a ton of this stashed somewhere...hmmmm, nope.LOL!!

I actually went to make my card tonight and could not find any ANYWHERE!! The only vellum I could find was this Dragonfly vellum that SU carried YEARS ago. I decided it would have to work though since I needed a card by morning...stupid procrastination!! For my image, I stamped the super cute Give Thanks Sophia(from Paper Pretties) on an MFT Perfect Panel and then cut her out using my Circle Nesties. She was then colored with my Copics, and paper pieced with some Thoroughly Modern DSP. The scalloped layer is Soft Suede. I attached my vellum using silver brads. Under the vellum, there is more DP, as well as under the image. All of it is from the same collection. The ribbon is from SU as well, but the spiral clip is from Joanne's. I used this past Saturday's Sketch For You To Try for my card as well.
Well, that is it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Be sure to check out the other Pretties to see what they have been up to!!

  17. Hi Jessie

    I'm new at receiving your cards and I absolutely love them! In fact, I'm very new to making cards period. I have a question - how do you make the dots that make the border?
