Doubled Vellum // Papertrey Ink

Hello there!
I'm here with a card for Simon Says Stamp clean and simple challenge, as well as this weeks Papertrey Ink Make It Monday using vellum to soften challenge.


Vellum is such a pretty thing to add to a card! Depending on the weight/thickness of your vellum, you can get slightly different looks.
I added it on this card because I couldn't figure out where else to place my sentiment (I'm not one for planning ahead). However, because my vellum was of a thinner weight, I had to use two layers of vellum so that the sentiment was able to pop out enough.
If I wanted a softer look, and didn't have to worry about my sentiment standing out enough, I would've used one layer.

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

  4. Oh, YEAH! Gorgeous roses, and the vellum lets them be seen, instead of covering them up.
