PTI Make It Monday #2: Vellum Sentiment Strip

Happy Saturday everyone!!  I hope that you had a great Friday!  Our quickie trip over to Butte for my great-grandfather's funeral was a good one.  The roads on the way over were snowy for about 40 miles, and then they became clear.  On the way home they were completely clear until about 5 miles before Missoula...when, guess what?  Yep- it was snowing like crazy....but we were just fine.  Missoula has been SO weird this year.  We have gotten SO much snow, and the rest of the state really hasn't.  It is normally the other way around...so I guess it was just our time for the snow.  Tee hee!

I have a sweet little card that I created for PTI's Make It Monday #2, which is a challenge to use a vellum sentiment strip on your project.  Well, I LOVE vellum sentiment strips, and I love figuring out fun ways to use them!  I also used WPlus9's Color Cue #12 {kraft, lilac, turquoise, white} and Get Sketchy #74 {which is late for the weekly challenge, but still really wanted to use it!}.  Here is what I came up with!

"Thank You for Touching my Life" supplies: 

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) & Bazzill Basics (lilac, kraft, turquoise) 

Vellum: The Paper Company

Stamps/Button: Papertrey Ink (YOF: Morning Glories set) 

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: frost white)

Chipboard Heart: Maya Road

Twine: Darice Inc. 

Flower: Prima

Pearls: Kaiser Craft

Glitter: Doodlebug Designs

Corner Rounder: EK Success 

Instructions:  Fold white cardstock in half to make a 4.5" square card, and then round the bottom corners.  Cut {3} 4x1" cardstock strips, and round the left corners of the lilac strip and the right corners of the turquoise strips.  Adhere to the right side of the card, making a striped block.  Cut a 1" strip of vellum, and adhere a 1/8" strip of Scor-Tape at the top of it.  Cover the Scor-Tape in turquoise glitter, then stamp the sentiment below.  Wrap and adhere the vellum strip around the card, making sure the sentiment sits over top of the colored block.  Paint a chipboard heart white, cover in glitter, and then adhere to the left of the sentiment.  Tie a bow from twine, layer in between a button & paper flower, then adhere to the glittered heart.  Accent below the sentiment end with three jewels to finish.

I really love how this cute little card turned out, and it could be recreated with so many other colors and different sentiments...I love cards like that!  And every time you recreate it, it will still look completely different!

Well, it is about time for breakfast...so I am going to get going for now.  I hope that you have a super lovely Saturday!! ♥♥♥ 

Until later,
