The First of my Vellum Cards

I had this floating around in my mind for a while before I finally made it a reality. It took a bit of a turn, but I am happy with the end result. I embossed the vellum with the Birds and Swirls cuttlebug folder and the card took on a wedding look. So I cut some Whisper White card stock with my butterfly die and then used the letterpress technique to cut and ink my butterfly.
To finish off the card I used a lots of tags die to make the sentiment panel and punched a small butterfly .
I have a Whisper White panel on the inside of the card for messages.
I hope that I will have somewhat regular posts over the next two weeks. We are renovating the kitchen, so the house is in a bit of disarray. Plus I am taking the kids away for some of the worst of the reno. That means I will be blogging from my Mom and Dads house. But way back in February I tried doing that and Mom and Dad lack some serious technology.

Card stock; Whisper White, Sage Shadow, So Saffron
Ink; Sage Shadow, So Saffron
Stamps;
Accessories; cuttlebug dies, cuttlebug folders, MS butterfly punch, scallop edge punch,
