Recently I have really had an itch to actually use my favorite color to create something and this is what I came up with.
I started with a blue card base then I embossed a piece of vellum with a Cuttlebug folder which I received as a gift from Dawn at Designs by Dragonfly. After embossing I used a StazOn ink pad, I ran it over the embossing to give the vellum a little color.
I have been unable to find a vellum adhesive that is actually hidden so I used a few glue dots and covered them with the pearls.
The sentiment panel was cut with a die that has been in my stash forever, sentiment is wet embossed and backed with a lighter blue, adhered to the vellum with foam pads then I added a bow and chomped my corners.
I am entering this card into these challenges:
Dies R Us - #49 - Birthday
Just Us Girls - #343 - Trend Week - Vellum
Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge - #10
I went with the bottom row: Bow, Texture, Vellum.

Good choice on the color, no wonder it's your favorite. And how creative to emboss the vellum and then swipe it with the ink, very nice. Great take on the challenge, thanks so much for playing along with us this week over at Just Us Girls!!
