This card was an experiment to see if my new printer would work on vellum. I set up the sentiment in my cardmaking software and ran the vellum through my HP printer and it worked fine. My old printer always smeared the ink whenever I printed on vellum.
The iris came from a package of K & Co. embellishments that Okie saw in the clearance bins at Michael's on our last trip. The scalloped circle is punched out of mica paper, which doesn't show up in the photo.
I also used a Gelly Roll pen on the iris to add some sparkle to it. That way it looks better next to the mica paper.

Melissa--do you go on Facebook? I saw two of Shirley's layouts this morning----and she missed them! There's a couple of videos on FB showing them though.
I am going to have to try printing on vellum. Looks really nice. I like the colors and the Iris on this one.
