Flowers in Vases

 Hello All,

For today I will be playing along with The Card Concept, Shopping our Stash, Watercooler Wednesday, and Addicted to Stamps and More! challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

The vases remind me of a dish pattern my mother-in-law likes to collect. It is called Liberty Blue. It also reminds me of a pattern primarily on fabric called toile. Both have ornate floral, pastoral, or historic scenery. I wanted to depict those elements on my card. 

I stamped a retired SU stamp of florals on the background in graphite gray. This is the same floral pattern I used on the vases. I thought it depicted the toile fabric.

The flowers are from the My Monthly Hero Arts kit, January 2019. Nothing fancy to die-cut the flowers and brush on some color. I think it adds balance to all that is going on with the design. The strip sentiment mimics the same color as the background.

Challenges Entered:

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy.

All the best,

  2. So thoughtful card and I'm pretty sure it's a mother-in-law's card for Mother's Day. I love using my mother-in-law's favorite pattern Liberty Blue as a pattern for vases and repeating it in the background of the card. A brilliant solution!
