Experiment with vellum

I found these vellum and gold flowers and verses in a drawer, originally from some kit but I obviously didn't know how to use them.I decided to colour the backs with various grey promarkers and fussy cut them out.




My idea was to stick them around a verse on a black base card. I tried using a pritt stick which worked well for the flowers but not so for the verse and I had to peel the verse from the card and find an alternative sticking method with another verse.


The second time I used a piece of gold mirri card to back the vellum and this worked better as I could stick it to the base card without the glue showing through.


I finished the inside of the card with another 2 flowers .


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;-

Sketchy colours -black,grey and gold



Allsorts-sentiment as main focus

a bit more time to craft - anything goes
