Although not completely happy..
WHY
Well you can see the tape through the Vellum !!!
you couldn't earlier...
and then POW its there....
I only put a little bit of dst on anyway but look !!!
A little annoyed..
I also made a little mini tag... just in case there is a pressie to go with the card
There a close up of the cute little brown car...
The Vellum is from a card magazine,
I am using up papers I have stashed in a huge bag..
I have a lot of Vellum, as don't usually use it,
Now I know why.
So if anyone can tell me how to use it, so you don't see glue through..
would be of much help..
right I had best get of this PC,
Thanks for stopping by xx

great card! i love the car! thank you for playing this weeks Bugaboo challenge at catch the bug
Fab colours Claire.
Vellum can be a pain - even the DST specially made for it show through. If you have a fair bit to use up why don't you try attaching it with brads or eyelets at the corners, then you don't need to use any glue/tape at all.
Lovely card.

Saw this on Make It Monday. Great card for a man!
Hello Claire, I really like your card - the colour and theme are great. Vellum is a bit of a pain to attach but it would be such a pity not to use it as the effect can be very good. I've used brads to attach each corner, and also transparent sticky dots, again at each corner, which I then covered with gems or card candy. You could also try attaching it with DS tape and then covering this with a strip of design paper, ribbon, lace, braid, or punched card to disguise it. Hope you'll find one or some of these suggestions helpful. BTW, I popped over from MIM site. Elizabeth
The card is perfect for a man. Besides the great ideas given by others for using vellum, I have cut the background paper just a little bigger than my vellum and use a corner punch. It makes a nice frame for the vellum piece. You can also place the tape under the cardstock the car is stamped on and it is hidden. Good luck on the MIM challenge.
