I got the idea to layer a piece of  Strathmore Translucent Vellum, that I already had, from one of the ideas in Jill K. Berry's book, Personal Geographies.

I'll be doing a Valentine tutorial on this blog on January 25, and I'll show you how I created a journal page like this and then, use the image to create a valentine card and envelope.
