Handmade Vellum Rose Card

Vellum Rose Birthday Card
         I find making cards for crafter friends very very difficult as I tend to worry too much about whether they will like it since they are crafters themselves and so talented! I obsess about every imperfection in my card and finally work myself up to such a level that I end up not sending cards to my crafter friends!
        But recently I managed to convince  myself that since I myself love all types of cards and loooove receiving  cards , that maybe my crafter friends will like my cards too !
        So this multilayered card was made for an amazing person...Shalini Mittal, the owner of Crafters Corner, the most amazing craft supply store in India  of which I am the DT !![I have written more in this post : Crafters Corner]
Vellum Card
This card has sooo many layers : card stock, handmade paper, pattern paper and lots of die cuts! The white oval is a clay embellishment I made and has tiny roses and leaves! Added texturing with shiny heart sequins, glass beads gel and a splattering of gesso!

The flowers and leaves were made by stamping on parchment/vellum with various Heartfelt creations stamps.
Handmade Flowers
Also added a few handmade soft felt flowers , a heart shaped metallic buckle[ made with a Spellbinders die and metallic card stock] and a stylish " cherish" [made with a Tim Holtz die from Sizzix]


      Here is a closeup of a gorgeous crystal dragon fly and in this photo you can also see the shimmer of the inka gold I rubbed on in various places!


  It was a bit tricky to make the vellum rose from layers of heat embossed flowers but then in the end it turned out gorgeous ! What do you think my friends?

So for my DT post for  Maureen's Rudolph Days  Challenge   I   am sharing a quick and easy to make Christmas decoration - a Paper Star   which is rather unique in that you can fold it and keep it away for easy storing. Christmas Stars These  3 dimensional stars  were made with 6 squares of paper ,each measuring 12 cm[4 ¾ inches] and the complete star measures 6.5 inches.
