Vivid Vases
You're going to love Vivid Vases, a brand new single stamp featured in our 2014 Occasions Catalog! And there are several other brand new products featured in this card, too!
- I'm loving the soft colors of Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper; I used the Island Indigo zig-zag paper here.
- Make way for one of your soon-to-be favorite embossing folders – the Scallops Folder!
- I used two pretty fibers on this card – the Island Indigo Baker's Twine and the Calypso Coral 3/4" Chevron Ribbon, which is held in place with a Hardware Clip. Don't like the image on the clip? (This one was the "&" symbol.) Then just put that to the back. You still get the cute metal clip on the front and a place to tie your ribbon.
- I added a strip of Garden Green cardstock run through the Big Shot with the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die to coordinate with the Garden Green leaves and stems in the flowers.
These sweet little flower vases are the perfect stamp to try your hand at watercoloring. Remember to stamp in Black StazOn Ink, then use your Aqua Painter and stamp pads to do the rest. I used Pool Party ink for the "watery" look in the vases. To get the shading, just go over the entire vase lightly with Pool Party, let dry, then apply more ink in the shaded areas. I like using Naturals White Cardstock because it absorbs the water much better than our Whisper White and Very Vanilla cardstocks. Of course, you can also use Watercolor Paper for optimal results.
