Make it Monday, #121 Vellum Flowers

Besty Veldman, at Papertrey Ink, has challenged us to make a card with vellum flowers this week. I've been wanting to try this, so here is my very first effort. (I'm sure there will be more cards to come, as this is such a pretty way to do flowers!)
I have a friend retiring at the end of June, so this card will be for her. I used "Year of Flowers:Sweet Peas",  and the sentiment is from "Ribbons and Bows". The tag doesn't quite match the patterned paper, though, much to my disappointment. They are "supposed" to be the same pink... (I may redo it in vellum, and emboss the sentiment before I give it to the recipient.) The white background has been embossed with the "Stripes" impression plate, by PTI, although you can't see it in this photograph.

Thanks for looking!

  11. Bummer that the pink c/s doesn't match the patterned paper. Your fix sounds like a winner though. This is a gorgeous card ~ so soft and delicate!
