Welcome to The Let's Get Hopping Blog Hop Round 38 where our theme is to create a coordinating envelope.
You've probably joined me from my lovely friend, Tracy's blog. Please pop into all the blogs to say hi and leave a comment, I'm sure the lovely participants would love to hear from you.
I chose to use the Simply Succulents bundle for this months hop, which comes with a huge intricate background die. I really wanted to show this off and what better way that to create a vellum envelope and line it with the die to create a shadow effect. This bundle is in the upcoming mini catalogue and will be available from next month.
For those who don't know me, I'm a little succulent obsessed, and have a big collection which I spent some time this week repotting ready for the warmth that is here currently in Queensland. I did manage to get burnt in the process!
Click on the photos to see a bigger image, this shows how the vellum really allows your card to shine even during the postage process. A word of warning though...when using vellum to create something folded: If you score, be very gentle. It will tear easily. Its a very durable paper product however doesn't take kindly to rough scoring.
Here are a selection of my pretty plants which were great to reference when colouring to ensure I got the highlights and colours correct.
