This is my first blog post for a challenge, and I am combining two (no really three) challenges! The Make it Monday challenge over at PTI was all about velum overlays, and the Fusion challenge teamed up with CAS(e) this Sketch. So I can add my card to all three!
I use the PTI cover plate diagonal stripes with some gold paper to mimic the napkin ring in the photo inspiration. The velum banner was stamped and embossed with a sentiment from Garden Grace, and the butterfly is from SU. I was really happy with the way this turned out. And I am excited to be posting to my very own blog!
Thanks for looking!
