using vellum to soften patterns

I've had this little scrap of vellum that I stamped 7 years ago for my daughter's wedding invitations - it ended up with some pink and sahara sand scraps and I loved the color combination . . . I tucked a few sequins and a pinch of "snowflake iridescent sprinkles" under the vellum before I attached it to the card base . . . from one beautiful bride to another  :)

clean & layered

so . . . you know when you REALLY need to do a DEEP cleaning of your creative space . . . and you have a terrible time throwing all of the fun little bits and pieces away?  Well, I'm totally focused on using them up as I add to my mini stash!

(I'm having TWO new little granddaughters in the next couple of months, so this fabulous nursery inspiration caught my eye - it probably wouldn't have even mattered what the color combination was, although I do love pink ;)

watercolor scrap card

I had a little strip of watercolor left over from another project - the colors were too pretty to just toss, so I stuck a couple of "larkspurs" to it and it became a fun little mini card for my office stash . . .
