Vase of flowers

 Hi Everyone, a post from me today that isn't scheduled weeks or months in advance. I'm hoping after what's been happening in my life, I can now get back to normal!

Anyhow, my SiL was due a birthday and with my mojo missing and still not feeling 100%, my card today is cased from the brilliant Loll Thompson, from here. I knew my SiL would like the flower in the vase, as she is a remarkable flower arranger and loves to have flowers in a vase around the house.

I was gifted some wonderful vases stamps from my blog friend Hetty some time ago, and used the round one, which I stamped and coloured with DI's. One of my dies was used to cut the leaves, and I used the die negative to stencil the leaves onto the card with DO's. I die cut the border and attached it to the card, placing the leaves and vase together onto the border die cut. A sentiment was then stamped and the whole layer was 3D'd onto the main card. I found a lovely sentiment stamp for the insert and off it went, luckily my SiL liked it.
