Varied Vases, Birthday Card, 2018-2019 Stampin' Up! Catalog

I found this fun card on Pinterest.  I did change the color and the wording. Not because I didn't like the original, it was because I didn't have what I needed to make it.  Meaning, I had borrowed the punch and stamped a few images and returned the punch. So I'm working with the punched images I have.  Plus it doesn't hurt to see that the card works well in other colors too!

The base of my card is the new Gorgeous Grape. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather.  And the Whisper White piece is cut 3-3/4" x 5".

I took one of the new "Pearlized Doilies" and colored the back side of it with the Highland Heather marker. I only colored the first two rounds and then the lines that go towards the center. I didn't color in the whole doily, there was no need to, the rest of it is hidden.  Don't waste your time!  I set it aside to try.

Then I die cut a Gorgeous Grape circle. It measures about 2-1/8".  And next I stamped the flower using Gorgeous Grape ink. I used the Highland Heather and the petals image to color in all the petals at once. I LOVE the clear stamps because I was able to stamp that part and get it where it needs to go.  No guessing at all there!

I stamped the words from the same set using Gorgeous Grape onto a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock.  Isn't the font there sweet? I cut that strip 2-1/8" x 1/2".  I cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape 2-3/8" x 3/4".  I snipped one end to give a ribbon look. I did this for both the Whisper White and the Gorgeous Grape piece.

Now to assemble.  I taped the Highland Heather down first.  Then I taped the doily in place. I tied a ribbon around the Whisper White piece.  Then I taped the flower image to the Gorgeous Grape circle. I set that in place with Dimensionals. I added a Dimensional to the back of the vase piece and set that in place.  I set the words in place with Dimensionals and that was it.  It was a pretty easy card to make. I was going to add some tiny pearls to the center of each flower but I forgot to do it and too the photo. I have been having issues with my phone sending out emails so I won't be correcting that for you. Just imagine little tiny pearls in the center of each flower.  Better yet, add them to the card you are going to make!!
