For today's challenge to use vellum I made a card for a generous neighbor. She had a friend who was a stamper who passed away. She was in charge of her estate. She called me to come and look at the stamps, and take any I would like. It was like going down memory lane. The stamps are 10 to 15 years old. I wanted to pay her,but we bartered instead. She wanted me to make some cards using the stamps for her. I used a beautiful butterfly from co-motion stamps. I embossed it on the vellum with white craft ink, and embossing powder. I then colored the backside with markers. I then ran the vellum panel through a sizzix frame embossing folder. I pierced around the butterfly. Added the pearls, sentiment, and ribbon. tfl

Wowzer! What a beautiful butterfly! I'm sure you found some very unique stamp sets. How blessed that your neighbor thought of you to check them out first. ♥
