Pansies are no longer blooming here in Carolina. They are a winter and spring flower for us. Thankfully, I can have pretty pansies to look at any time I like with the Pansy Patch bundle. On this card I used the border dies to create an interesting edge. The coordinating DSP and ribbon add such a nice touch.
This card was pretty simple and it turned out to be so elegant looking. We used the adhesive sheets on the back of the gold foil paper before diecutting. That way it becomes a sticker and is so much easier to apply to the DSP. That's it! Gorgeous DSP and a diecut. I meant to stamp the greeting directly on the DSP, but I had an oops, so I stamped on Basic White cardstock and adhered over the oops.

A: Soft Seafoam B: Highland Heather layer: 4 x 5-1/4
Vellum: 4 x 5-1/4 - Begin by applying splotches of color with Stampin' Blends onto vellum cardstock. Cover most of the surface. Use the bullet tip.
Use a paint brush to apply 91% alcohol and not be afraid to be generous in your application. Don't swish it on with the brush, use a daubing/pouncing motion. Allow to dry.
Apply Multipurpose glue with a fine tip applicator following some of the 'veins' in the ink pattern. Place the cardstock upside down in the leafing container, finally rub off the access.
Basic White: 4 x 5-1/4 - Mount the completed vellum piece on white cardstock, then trim all four sides to 3-3/4 x 5.
