This is my other contribution for our challenge at the Pink Elephant. This week we have a double theme and everyone can choose whether to make a card for Mum or do some recycling.
This is my card for the Mum theme - a vellum fan attached to a pale blue mat and embellished with gemstones. The stamp is the large fan blade by Dimension Fourth and was stamped on to vellum and embossed in silver 6 times before being cut out and fastened together using a jewelled brad.
After I had made the card a friend called round, saw the card and asked if I could do one for her to give an elderly relative, which led to me doing the pink version below.
I think I prefer the pink one and that's unusual for me - maybe Laura is having a bad influence on me!
Both cards include two of my favourite things - rubber stamping and vellum. I love stamping on vellum and embossing it - it's a beautiful effect. Favourite things is the theme at Dutch Dare this week so my two cards are both suitable for their challenge.

They are both lovely and you have such patience to cut out twelve pieces. The results are fab though.
