This card took me forever to get to work the way I wanted it to. I knew the colors I wanted but could not get them to go together right. IF it had gone together faster I would of added a few extra things. I would of done some sponging and piercing. I have some of the Big Shot Texture plates coming in from an exchange and I think one of them would of worked great, especially on the small Tangerine layer. For now it works for the time I had and the materials I had to work with. I may have to re-play this one later on through just to see. :)

Oval Punch Vases

This weeks schedule is jam packed full so if I miss a day or two along the way please forgive me! My dear husband is healing well and therapy seems be be going ok. I am finally am getting to be able to do other things than care for him. One thing I got behind on was thank you cards. So here is one that will go out this week!

I saw this idea on someone else's blog. I saved the picture thinking it would have their name on it to give credit to but when I finally got to make it I found it had no name on it. So if you are the originator (or know who is) please let me know so I can give proper credit!

The vases are made with the oval punch. I cut a curve in the top and a flat bottom. I spritzed the vase with co-ordinating colors (since we do not have In Color markers). I then sponged the edges (of course ;) ). I used my Aqua-painter and Going Grey ink to make a shadow under the vases. I used various punches to make the flowers and the basic black marker to draw the stems.
