This month I have embraced vellum and for my forth layout with the Half Tart I used it to tone a busy background patterned paper.
Before I decided on the vellum I noticed that the cardboard in the Prima flowers packaging suited my colour scheme.
I added two extra strips of patterned paper to the top banner and I used it to mat my photograph.
I fussy cut the grey flowers with a small circle punch and positioned them to secure the vellum around the edges.
So take a second look at the packing that comes with your kits before you throw it out.
