Here's another fun card using an item from my "bits and pieces" stash. This patterned oval has been in the stash for at least 2 years!! I just wasn't sure what to do with it, because the pattern was a little strong to stamp over. But then I started thinking about vellum and knew it would soften it up enough to allow the pattern to show, but not overwhelm the sentiment. Yeay! Another difficult piece used. And it is what inspired the color combo. It's a bit bright, but I think it's rather pretty.
