I placed it on the card, pleased with the blue and green (I wanted to make a masculine card) and thought, "Wow... it looks quite 'overwhelming'..." so I got inspired to try to place some of PTI's Vellum Cardstock over it and the rest is history.
I really like how the cardstock subdued the paper and softened it... even if it IS for a guy. ;)
I stamped the "Just Because" in Night of Navy (Stampin' Up!) on the vellum and couldn't be happier.
Ink: Pacific Point, Sage Shadow, Brocade Blue, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy (all Stampin' Up!)
Paper: Guidelines 1, Vellum Cardstock, Vintage Cream (all Papertrey Ink)

*Really* love the use of the vellum overlay - creates the perfect amount of softness! Nice work Ted!
Ted, this card is gorgeous. Love what you did with the vellum. Really great!
Ha! I was just thinking earlier today I need to use this set! Great minds...
Great card Ted!
Very classic look, Ted.
Looks great, Ted! I love the idea of vellum to soften a background and making the sentiment pop! I'll just add it to my ever growing list of things I need!
Very nice. When I look at your design it reminds me of what one sees through a kaleidoscope.
Fab card, Ted. The vellum is a great touch.
Great idea to add the vellum....haven't dug that out of my stash in a while...thanks for the inspiration!
Ted this looks WONDERFUL!!! Nice job!!! Thanks for visiting my blog today!!
Have a GREAT day!
I love it! I am pretty new to PTI so I don't have many of the stamps yet, but I have been really digging the things I have seen with this set! Another example of why I *NEED* this set! TFS Ted.
Ted your card kind of shimmers with the overlay. Really unique look. I really like it.
Ted the Vellum is a stroke of genius! I was having the same difficulty with the design colors being overpowering, so I set the whole thing aside. Thanks for the idea :)

WOW. This is quite striking Ted. I like how the vellum softens it, but it still remains masculine. Good to know! I would have thought otherwise.
Nice! Perfect for a just because card!
Love this look Ted, the vellum adds such a unique dimension to this card!
What a wonderful card Ted! I love how vellum softens the look. So classy.
Great card, Ted! I love the vellum over the stamped pattern!
une carte très sobre, bravo elle est superbe
Great job, Ted. I really like that your vellum overlay makes the sentiment appear to be floating over the background.
I have some real bold card stock, and I think this would be a GREAT treatment for it! Thank you so much for your great ideas, and that you share them!!!
Have a GREAT week!
Here is a vellum inspired card!
