Playing in Paradise #110 - Embellishments!



Now here's a challenge that was fun to play! Nina is our hostess  at Playing in Paradise this week, and she wants us to
PPC #110

Love that little ladybug :) I thought I would try NOT using buttons and see what happened:

Supplies: kraft & chocolate brown card stock; scrap of vellum; rub-ons from Bo Bunny; trim from Webster's Pages; birthday sentiment from Mrs. Grossman's


Vellum being the tricky creature that it is, I kept the piece of vellum much longer than it shows - it extends all the way underneath the brown trim. I used Scor-Tape to adhere the vellum (just one long strip on the left), then more Scor-Tape on top to adhere the brown trim, and another to adhere the aqua. I am continually impressed by how well Scor-Tape holds trims - and yet is forgiving enough to let them go if you happen to need to tweak it a little bit. 

This challenge will be open until next Thursday, April 4th.  To add your NEW project to the linky & see what the rest of  the team has created, click on over to the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog, and check out the DT on their blogs too:

I will likely be back later on today - I've got lots of Easter cards to share before Easter! I'll leave you with a picture of Abby last night after a good hard play in the backyard...she was due for a bath anyway, and I figured she may as well enjoy herself beforehand!

It's a little muddy out there...
xoxo,
Jessi

    Abby looks very happy and contented after her play in the mud! LOL.

    I love the embellishments that you added to that pretty PP. They are perfect! Scor-Tape really IS the best isn't it!

    I also peeked at your post below and that embossed silhouette is GORGEOUS!

    I love the funky colours and the doodly swirls, are they a stamp or a paper?
    thanks for your comment on my blog, I think most people will have at least one cat that could be called Spesh. x

    Beautiful colours together, yep vellum is one tricky customer...always seems we try and disguise it on our cards so we can stick the darn thing down invisibly !!!
    Urrghh what a mucky pup..... Think how much fun the boys would have out there *wink*

    Those trims are so cool! Can't decide if I like the aqua one or the sparkly one better... They look really cool together!
    Abby looks so pleased with herself! LOL! Just like Atticus when he rolls in the garden AFTER his bath...

    Fabulous Jessi, it's the torn vellum sentiment that I adore, and the trim, and the sparkle... maybe, it's everything lol!
