Make It Mondays with Papertrey Ink - Week of 02/14/11

I decided to play along with PTI's Make It Mondays challenge to use a strip of vellum with the sentiment on it.  I had forgotten how much I dislike using vellum - it's so persnickity and fussy, but I do like how it looks, so this truly was a challenge for me.  I heat embossed the sentiment on the vellum using gold embossing powder.  I really like how it turned out.  And the glittery patterned paper perfectly match the flower image from the Garden of Life set. 

I stuck a couple of straight pins into the ribbon, not only to give it a bit of character, but also to hold the ribbon in place!  It wouldn't do what I wanted it to do so it got stuck!  That will teach it to mess with me!  LOL!

Here is a close up of the glitter paper - it's sooooooo sparkle-y in real life - I think I'll make another one into a birthday card!
