The card in the magazine had the black bottom and a couple of different sized vases with flowers. I'm really loving what I came up with here. Yes, sometimes I do pat myself on the back, lol! Honestly, I'm not always in love with my work...it's just "ok", but this one...yeah, I'm really fellin' it. The effect on the vase was a fluke...but a good one! I stamped, colored and fussy cut the vase, then filled it in with Crystal Lacquer. The glaze gave my coloring a marbled look...pretty cool, hunh? After it dried, I kinda rolled / cupped it and glued it on. Basically I wanted it really puffed out and dimensional. For the lines (where the sentiment is written), I used 2 of the stamps from the basic borders cling set.
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!
I like it! The effect on the vase is cool. All that white space in the card could make some nervous but it really works, lots of great stuff happening below.
