I used my favorite Dainty Blossoms dies & a sentiment from Delicate Wreath. The inks are PTI Melon Berry, Sweet Blush, Prairie Grass & Spring Moss. I stamped the script in Fine Linen & used Spellbinders Labels for the sentiment.
Next is my entry for ITP PTI Birthday challenge. I haven't used Vogue Vases very often, so that's where I started.
I stamped the vase in Dark Indigo a couple times to get complete, dark coverage. Then I stamped in Versamark & embossed in clear powder to give the look of a ceramic vase. At least that was my idea & it is really pretty in person. The vase was die cut & I attached it to another die cut for dimension. The foliage from Bold Blooms was stamped in Soft Stone (multiple times to achieve a darker shade), Autumn Rose & Lavender Moon. The sentiment from Mat Stack 3 was stamped in Dark Indigo & I added Stardust Stickles to the blooms. I started with a one layer card, but decided to cut the front into a smaller panel attached to a Soft Stone mat--much better to my eye! It was scary, but I took my chances & added 3 score lines very close together near the bottom before attaching the vase. So glad I didn't have to start over!
Finally I have another card made with Memory Box Bingham Heart die. I had an extra kraft die cut on my table, so added color with a white pigment ink pen & a red/pink glitter gel pen. Then I added Golden Rod Stickles to the flowers & added another heart die cut for extra stability.
I used my favorite PTI word die, stacked it 5 high & added Golden Rod Stickles to the letters. The heart was colored with the glitter gel pen & covered with Nuvo Glaze. I put the heart in place, but didn't push it all the way down to keep it slightly higher than the letters.
I must start by apologising that it's clear I've missed a few posts Greta, not least the lovely one with the photo below. I realised yesterday that some of the blogs I follow are not showing new posts on my reading list, not sure how I can correct it so need to do some homework, but seems to be a know glitch.
