November Diva Dare-Day 2

Vellum Visions - November Diva Dare

Hi friends, it is Teresa. This month's dare is entitled Vellum Visions.  Soft and classy, vellum always makes a big impression.

I am vellum challenged, so much so I do not own any...lol. As much as I luv it, I find it very hard to use; so I used a piece of printed acetate the closest thing to vellum I have. I also find acetate hard to use, but I went with it to take this month's dare! I have used today's Mojo Monday sketch, I hope you will join us; this weeks sketch is awesome! I have used the sentiment from the Verve set Be Blessed.
