Fancy Fold Vellum Card

I participated in the Crop and Create Delivered card making event last March, and Libby Hickson taught a great fun fold card class using vellum.  Here is my take:

I'm sharing this with Make The Cards Challenge, make a fancy fold card.  

I used Taylored Expressions Squeeze The Day stamp and stencil set to create the lemons (Pineapple for lemons), leaves (Peapod), and sentiment.  I also attached a white panel to the back for additional writing space.  Love this!!

Masculine Vellum

The Male Room Challenge #74 is to create a card using vellum. 

I embossed the vellum with Darice Deer in Forest, and colored with metallic sharpies.  I tried to color with Inka Gold, but it didn't work out so well, and the sharpies worked out better than anticipated.  Yeay!

There's plenty of time left to play with us at Words 2 Craft By for our Abundance challenge!

V is for Vellum

The Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers (how cool is that name?!?) has a challenge to use vellum on a project.

Tim Holtz Gears embossing folder, Inka Gold bronze, copper, gold.  Unity sentiment VersaFine ink and clear embossing powder.  The black is a frame on top of the vellum, created using a square die, twice to create a rectangle. 

Come play along with us at Words 2 Scrap By for our June challenge - It's a Man's World!

Inspiration

I try hard to create something every day - even if it is just dinner!!  I had an amazing day in my craft room.  I cleaned, sorted, and actually finished a few cards!!!

The Challenge #31 was to create something based on this image:

 

I couldn't  decide which one I liked best, so I decided to post both of my options.

I loved both cards.  I am not a super vintage - type person, but am quite happy with both responses to the challenge.  Both cards have the image stamped on vellum with Ranger Ink, and the parasol colored with pencils.   Vellum is mounted over 7 Gypsies patterned paper, no clue as to the maker of the image.  Which do you like best - red or black card base?
