Varied Vases Birthday

These little vases are so cute and rather than stamp the vases and color them, I decided to use my scraps of DSP. 

On a piece of Whisper White, I first stamped two "shelves" at the bottom, for the vases to sit on.  The shelf scallops were coloured with a Rich Razzelberry marker.

Then I stamped 5 little vases of varying heights all in a row using Black Memento ink, making sure the bottoms of each sat firmly on the shelf.  Before decorating the vases I stamped various sprigs of flowers so the stem were inside the vases.

These flowers were colored with various colors of SU markers, except foe the flowers in the end vase.  Five of these flowers were punched in Calypso Coral cardstock using the Vase Builder punch and adhered with  small dimensionals, to a hand drawn stem emerging from the vase .   Calypso Coral marker was used to make some  markings on each punched piece.

Using scraps of Petal Garden DSP (retired), I punched 5  various size vases in various patterns.  The  Vase Builder punch was used for this.  Each punched vase was sponged with Basic Gray ink, and a Basic Gray marker added additional markings around the neck and stem. Then, instead of coloring each vase, vase piece was adhered over the stamped one - much like paper piecing.

The Whisper White art piece was matted with Fresh Fig card stock and this was added to the card front using dimensionals.

The card front is Whisper white.  In the middle, a piece of Fresh Fig card stock was die cut at both top and bottom ends using the new Fancy Edgelits.  A strip of DSP from the same DSP pack was added to the middle, and a piece of white polka dot organza ribbon added to the middle of that.  This unit was added to the card front.
