Vicki is our hostess this week and she has chosen: crumb cake. sahara sand, crisp cantaloupe and the desert is dots. I am using a technique that Jennifer McGuire demonstrated on her blog to make a card where the top portion is either vellum (like Jennifer did) or clear acetate (like I did), enabling your pretty pp to show through on the top of your card. It was VERY hard to photograph so I chose 2 photos - this one shows the side angle (with a peek at the pp and how I added a small blank space for your message). I hope you get how it works, it really gives the card a creative look IRL.
I did mine a bit differently but check out her video if interested:
My top small butterfly is vellum, and I spattered the same colors (with diluted ink) with a paintbrush. Dots are on my buttefly.
Come and join in the challenge - you may be our next favorite!!

Oh, how cool! I had seen Jennifer's video and loved the idea, but I like it even better with the clear acetate. Beautiful butterfly and lovely DS paper background. A special card!
