Always On My Mind




When I saw This week's Muse inspiration by Anita Bowden  for Muse Challenge #134 over at the Muse Challenge Blog,  I thought - vellum. There is no vellum on Anita's card, but that where my mind went. I used the color scheme of Color Throwdown #361, and applied green and yellow paint to wet watercolor paper for the background.  I embossed PTI' s Year of Flowers: Mums images with white EP on vellum and adhered that vellum panel onto the watercolored panel with a black card base. The sentiment is from the same collection, embossed in white on an MFT stitched flag die cut. I used twine instead of thread, though I am debating whether to change that.

It was so nice to be able to get 2 cards in this weekend.  Work and family is keeping me hopping, and have not been able to get to visiting my blog buddies very much. Hopefully I can get to some of that later.  Thank you for stopping in today.  Have a great day!

    Very pretty. I like your color choices and the vellum makes the leaves look delicate.

    I love to see where our Muse cards take you and this is a fab take on my card. I love those blooms and how the vellum softens the background colours.

    The colours are gorgeous, delicate and just perfect. The vellum enhances the card and with the white Mums is beautiful. Loving the sentiment too x

    There is something about white embossed on vellum that gets me every time. Add to that your stunning background and you have a killer card.
