Welcome to the July Blog Hop with PTI.
This month we were asked to use the beautiful Papertrey Ink linen Vellum. This vellum is thicker than most and has a wonderful texture.
I chose to dry emboss my vellum with a Cuttlebug Embossing folder. I really like the way this paper responds to "cuddling". With the Dark Chocolate PTI paper underneath the vellum, just enough of the dark shows through to soften the whiteness.
I then used the SU Ticket Punch in the corners and tied a double ribbon around the bottom. I really like the two color, two sizes of ribbon. I used Plum Pudding for the wider ribbon and Dark Chocolate for the thinner ribbon. I then used my Nestabilities to make the ovals then stamped the flower in the middle using the new Floral Frenzy stamp set. The "thank you" stamp is from the Mixed Messages stamp set. The little bling in the corners is from Target.
