This card didn’t quite turn out as I’d anticipated – they often don’t – but I quite like it anyway. In my head it had eyelets holding down the vellum but that didn’t work out; I was only looking for an excuse to use my new Crop-A-Dile™ anyway.
I made it for a challenge on In Love With Stamping – we were to take inspiration from a picture of a brightly-coloured floral lunchbag. Its colours were Rose Red, So Saffron and Taken with Teal but I have a few issues with Taken with Teal so I swapped it for Tempting Turquoise.
Attaching vellum can be a problem but there are many ways to overcome this and, on this card, I folded the ends round the back of the So Saffron layer and attached it there.
To curl the paper, I wet the edge and then rolled it up around a small paintbrush.

What's wrong with Taken with Teal?? Just kidding - this looks terrific! The vellum really softens it up!
