Berry Botanical Thinking of You

When I start playing with a brand-new paper crafting product, I can’t seem to stop. I love the designs and patterns in Stampin’ Up!’s May Product of the Month: the Berry Botanical Vellum 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I found some sketches I like and used them to create cards with this gorgeous vellum.
