Floral Stem on Vellum

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I've pulled out my favorite Poppystamps die and added it to a
piece of watercolored vellum I did at last year's retreat.

The die cuts two flower heads and I've popped one on top with a dimensional
and added some yellow prills to the center.

Quick and easy.  My favorite kind!

A good looking card with that elegant die on the water colored vellum that looks like a peaceful sky. I find these days it is good to have a stash of quick and easy cards to send frequently to loved ones. The prills add a nice touch as do the candy dots on the sentiment strip.

Fabulous looking background on vellum, Bonnie!! Just love the crisp white flower and frame atop. The double flower and prills look gorgeous!!

I don't know what blue that is, although it looks like Mermaid Lagoon, but it is gorgeous Bonnie. I love your layered flower head too with the little yellow micro beads and the sentiment strip across the frame looks great. x

Gorgeous card Bonnie! I LOVE how the vellum adds a dreamy look to your watercoloured background. I still have lots of things left over from our last retreat. :) Maybe I'll get them done before next year's retreat (finger's crossed it will happen!). xx

Wow, that background is amazing! I thought it was alcohol ink at first. The vellum gives the watercolor such a nice finish, and I love the shade of blue. The die is beautiful!
