Today I'm giving you a look at my Split Rectangle card for our Monday Montage Inspiration Hop. This card features the Berry Botanicals Vellum, May's Product of the Month, and Hydrangea Hue. What was fun when creating this card was trying different colors of cardstock under the printed vellum. I landed on Hydrangea Hue!
