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.
Oh my Faith, you really pulled of CAS beautifully here, it's such an eye catching design as well.
