Here's a Card Archives - My Elegant Cards

I wanted to do something a little different with the Bird Ballad Laser-cut cards so I decided to add a frame using the Stitched Rectangles dies (148551) out of very vanilla card stock

This makes it a lot simpler to add the petal pink piece of cardstock to the inside of the card base since you have a larger margin. Next I cut a banner slightly under 1 inch wide and embossed it in gold with a sentiment from the Here’s a Card stamp set (149438). I used the triple banner punch to make the flag on the banner and added it to the card leaving space on the right hand side.

For the decoration, I used the Perennial Essence Vellum cardstock (149101) to cut out petals using the Perennial Flower punch (149522) and the Leaf punch (144667) and a gold Faceted Gem (144141). In general, I don’t use much vellum, but I love it here.

Let me know what you think – both on the card and your use of vellum.
