This month the three challenges are:
Challenge #1 One Layer: No paper layering, just embellishments!
Challenge #2 Sketch Challenge: Can you stretch this card sketch to suit?
Challenge #3 Vellum: Find a way to incorporate vellum.
I chose to complete Challenge #3 Vellum: Find a way to incorporate vellum.
I started by finding a photo I wanted to use as my main focal piece. I adjusted the Opacity setting and changed it to 60%, then changed my paper setting to Other Transparency Films for printing. I printed my photo and walked away to let it dry. It takes the vellum a little bit longer to dry so printing and then leaving it for awhile is a great idea. I then cut the white cardstock just a bit smaller than the vellum photo so that there is a border around the pictures made with the vellum.
I sized the photo down for my 81/2 x 11 layout. (you can click on the picture for a close up)
The second way I used vellum is to emboss it. I used the Tim Holtz Mini Ray folder and cut a strip of vellum and emboss it then used ink pads and a baby wipe to apply and move the ink around.
I did the same thing for the 8 1/2 x 11 layout, but used a smaller strip of vellum.
From here you should be heading to Lisa at Recklinghausen Musings to she what she has created for the Challenge. I have the whole hop posted below if you want to start at the beginning or just get lost along the way.

Loving your colour combo matching your sky - perfect!
Beautiful uses of vellum and a great way to highlight accent photos, yet include a larger vista. Great job!
