Good Monday afternoon. My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple Challenge to create a card using an oval, navy blue and vellum. Uh oh! I totally finished my project, photographed it and realized I had forgotten to use vellum. Duh! I can’t post it for the challenge but I can post it on my blog. I think the white flower and blue foliage look striking against the white frame and background. Fast, simple and easy. I used the Spellbinders Floral Ovals for the decorative background, Rose Creations for my flower and Foliage for the leaves.
I cut the decorative oval layer and attached it to the card base using thin strips of mounting tape. I cut the flowers, formed them with my stylus and molding pad and attached the layers together using glossy accents.
I attached the flower in place using glossy accents and then tucked the foliage under the petals and attached with glossy accents. I used Nuvo Wedgewood Blue Crystal Drops in the flower center but got a little carried away and let the drop get too big. Instead of it drying rounded like a pearl it spread out a little too much. I still think it looks pretty and allows the flower center to match the blue foliage.
Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a good week.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”
I think it's really pretty!! Even without vellum! I really like how you use dies that have been around for a while and make them look all new!!!

This is lovely! Can’t you cut out some vellum foliage and tuck it in with the other foliage?

Your flowers are always so gorgeous and life like. I like the blue center. I'm with the others - who needs vellum? That oval is one of my favorite dies. I'm glad you're using some of the older Spellbinders dies. They classic and still favorites.

Beautifully done, sounds like you need to put a sentiment on some vellum :)
