For the Ways to Use It Challenge on SCS, Toni has asked us to use vellum. I love the soft look of vellum, but DON'T like the way ink smears easily (wonder how I know?)! Thankfully, an eraser took care of the smearing. :-) I needed a card for our nurse manager who is retiring end of the month. She's an avid quilter, so knew I wanted to use this gorgeous DP by DCWV. I dug into my CS archives for some Sage Shadow - a really old retired SU color - which matched the print well. Several gallery entries used a frame to adhere the vellum to the base, so I tried it and LOVED the idea! Have to run...time to go to work.

This is gorgeous, Wanda! Love the frame and the DP. Try the heat gun to speed up the drying on vellum -it helps as I've done the smudge thing too ;)
Oh Wanda this is so BEAUTIFUL!!~
I know from experience that you have to let the ink dry really well when working with vellum! Beautiful card...and BIG congrats on getting "dirty"!!!
I love the way the vellum softens everything. Really beautiful!
Beautiful! i just love that your style is eclectic like mine! I love seeing the different types of cards rather then the same style~
Another beauty!!! Love, love that frame idea. I never work with vellum because of the adhesive issues. Beautiful cluster of embellishments you have, too :)
Excellent way to use vellum with a frame so adhesive won't show!!! Love the dp and think I still have a few scraps of sage shadow myself. Sometimes when I stamp on vellum, I clear heat emboss right away and tha helps with the smearing issue!! Gorgeous card.
