Vellum and stitching

 

I haven't been feeling very inspired recently, so I'm trying to get back in the groove. For this card, I used am image a friend sent me and added a little faux stitching, a sentiment and some sequins. The sentiment is stamped on a pale pink vellum, and since it's so hard to discreetly attach vellum, the right hand side of the sentiment is wrapped around and taped to the back of the panel. I used a brad on the left side to hold the strip down. 

This card is entered in these chales:

Word Art Wednesday #575 -- anything goes

Double Trouble #128 -- something, anything

    The faux stitching adds character to your clean design!

    The vellum sentiment is gorgeous and I love that it was torn instead of cut. Very pretty! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
