In order to create my vision I turned the sketch upright.
I've had these Pixie flowers for as long as I have been crafting - about 12 years - and just waiting for the right opportunity to use them. So, they were used to create this vase of flowers for challenge 454 with Try Stampin on Tuesday
Making flowers, using flowers on cards, (even growing flowers) has always been a passion of mine. Normally I would make paper flowers myself, but a painful osteoarthritis of my hands make it difficult to use small punches right now. So I used these Pixie flowers instead. But I did put my own touch on them.
On a piece of Whisper White I first stamped a stem using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set, and then made a vase using the striped pattern from the Well Dressed DSP and the Tailored Tag Punch. The punchie was cut in half, the edges sponged with Basic Gray, shaped with a bone folder, and added over the stamped stems using dimensionals on the edges.
After the flowers were added, glitter crystal effects and dazzling diamonds was added to each one.
This image piece was matted with Pretty Peacock card stock. On the left side is added a piece of Mint Macaron card stock die cut with the new Ornate border die. A 3/8" strip of Purple Posy card stock is adhered on the end of that overlapping left side of the image piece as well.
The art piece is adhered to the card front using dimensionals.
The base card is Pretty Peacock layered with Whisper white embossed with the Ornate flowery Embossing Folder. A strip of the same pattern of Well Dressed DSP edged with the negative piece of the die cut edging the art piece is added to the left edge.
The sentiment, from Beautiful Bouquet, stamped with Pretty Peacock, is die cut with the Ornate Frame die and matted with a coordinating die cut in Pretty Peacock. It is added to the card front at the left side.
To finish the card, some Mint Macaron enamel shapes were added, and a bow made with white Baker's twine coloured with a Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blend , was adhered to the vase.
Supplies Used:
Stamp: Beautiful Bouquet
Inks: Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray
Papers: Pretty Peacock, Whisper white, Best Dressed DSP, Mint Macaron, Pretty Posy
Accessories: Ornate flowery Embossing Folder, Ornate border die, Tailored Tag Punch, Pixie flowers, Glitter Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds, Ornate Frame Die, White Baker's Twine, Dimensionals, Mint Macaron enamel dots
