I'm here with my DT card for the challenge over at Moving Along With The Times
this week our lovely Wendy has given us the challenge to
Use Vellum or Parchment
I was a bit last minute with this card and had planned to use some printed vellum as a background with an image and make matching vellum flowers. That changed very quickly when I couldn't find the pad of Vellum paper I had!! I hunted through everything I had and came across a couple of "lost" things that I had been looking for but no sign of the vellum : ( . At first I felt a bit bad because I was going to let down Wendy and the team by not turning up this week but then I remembered I had some Anna Griffin pads of vellum quotes so decided to see what I could do with one of them. I have to confess time was getting on by this time and I was a bit clueless as to what to do - so this is what I came up with. It might have worked a bit better if I'd added some extra flowers, leaves and general faf! - but to be honest I've gone off faffy cards of late and couldn't quite pull it together
I have to confess its not my favourite thing I ever made - but by this time it was this or nothing
- so it was this!!!
The one thing I do like about it is the sentiment - very inspirational
close up of the sentiment
So sorry - but I don't really feel this is my best work - but its an idea I suppose
- and at least I turned up!!
This is what I did...
Sentiment - Anna Griffin Sentiment pad from the Sierra Collection
Papers - Lili of the Valley - Bearly mine
die cut labels - labels 11 spellbinders
Die cut butterfly -Spellbinders
Butterfly punch - woodware
Organza and eyelash ribbons - Crafty ribbons
Pearls from my stash
Kraft card - MFT
If you call over at the MAWTT challenge blog you'll find some gorgeous projets made by my teamies - hopefully we have inspired you to join in our challenge this week - with your vellum or parchment

This is fab Judith. Vellum is so hard to use on a card, I very rarely
have the urge to use it. This is just perfect, love that quote.

You've used vellum so it meets the brief, I think you're being a little hard on yourself, it's fab.
