Watercolor & Vellum HB

I started with an ombre background made on watercolor paper, Stampin Up More Mustard Watercolor Wonder Crayon and an Aqua Painter brush. I selected a Night of Navy card.  I stamped my images on vellum in hopes of not losing too much of my ombre background.  The You're Amazing Happy Birthday and the flowers from the In the Spotlight stamp set were stamped in NofN and clear embossed. I find I'm using my heat gun more, now that it is always plugged in and near at hand.  The greeting was just trimmed straight and adhered to the WC background on the left hand side. I layered a strip of So Saffron card stock over the watercolor paper edge on the left. The flowers were punched with the Five Petal punch and adhered to the card front with Zots.

 I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:

    This is a wonderful design, Sylvia! I love your soft ombre coloring against that navy and your idea to stamp the sediment and flowers on vellum was genius. It's beautiful! Thank you so much for playing in the City Crafter challenge!! Hugs, Darnell

    Such a beautiful card Sylvia. Those vellum flowers are just perfect to allow the ombre background to peek through. Thanks for playing at CC&S.

    I never think to use vellum. I like how you've used it here, like you said, so as not to completely hide the background. Nicely done overall! Thanks for joining in our sketch challenge at CC&S!
