Vase of Flowers

 

Meet "Vase of Flowers".

Despite having this stamp set by Penny Black called Wings and Vases for a very long time I do not remember ever colouring up this image. I think I did the smaller vase of flowers but not this one.

Added to that I found this background in my stash and I remember nothing about it! No I have no memory issues yet, but I just do not recognize that embossing folder.

Oh well, time to use it as I think it makes a pretty bacjkground for this card. The trim is done in a dark blue, which is not mormally something I would do, it would normally be black. But, I like it despite the colour.

In my mini Misti I stamped the image using Memento ink in Tuxedo Black as I would be colouring with Copic markers.

Those colours are: R32, R43; Y04, Y13; YR02, YR04; B32 + 0; YG25, YG45. The reason for the B32 + 0 is I could not find the blue I wanted, so I applied the B32 then took it down several notches with the 0.

Once I was finished with the colouring, including the flower for the card inside, I die cut the pieces using the coordinating dies and attached them to my card using foam tape for the front, and Art Glitter glue for the inside flower.

I then stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee My Faavorite Flower set using VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne and die cut one out using the coordinating die which is the sentiment for the front of my card. For the sentiment inside the card I stamped it in my mini Misti.

To finish I attached a few Pinkfresh gems on the front of the card and the little flower inside the card using Art Glitter glue.

Somehow I feel better having used this set! I think it is a very pretty set and it should have had more attention from me.

Thanks so much for visiting with me today.

See you next time.
