Vellum for Seize the Birthday

Hello crafty friends, it is Thursday and time for a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday.  This week we have the "Toppings" option of using vellum on your birthday project.  Remember it is just an option and the only requirement is that it be for a birthday.


My first thought was to use flower images on vellum as they turn out so pretty, but decided I would use a Memory Box butterfly.  I die-cut it in white and then fussy cut the vellum to go underneath.  I glued just the body part and bent the wings up slightly.  Inked the back of the butterfly with some springy colors, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment is a Verve stamp in SU Early Espresso ink.  The sentiment panel is cut with an MFT die, and mounted with foam tape.  The mats and the flourish are SU Early Espresso CS.  The pattern paper is from MME Follow Your Heart - Be Amazing.

Don't forget to check out all the fabulous cards by the designers over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will be inspired to play along.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
