Rose in a Vase Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the pretty Pop-Up Petals stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

 

Colours used to create this card are:

 

I created the rose in a vase card using the following supplies:

Bubble Bath card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Lost Lagoon – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Velvet Meadow dsp – 2⅞” by ½”
Bubble Bath – 3⅜” by 2⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 2”
Bubble Bath – 1⅝” by ½”
Scrap Basic White and Artisan Sketched Garden dsp

 

I ran one of the largest panels of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then trimmed down to 4⅞” by 3 ¼” before it was adhered to the Lost lagoon layer. The whole piece was glued to the Bubble Bath card front.

The three pieces of Velvet Meadow dsp were added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

I glued the smaller piece of Basic White card to the slightly larger layer of Bubble Bath card and added it over the strips of dsp on Dimensionals.

The vase was die cut from a scrap of Artisan Sketched Garden dsp – I actually die cut the vase from several different dsp scraps before settling on this one. The rose was cut down and added to the back of the vase with a Mini Glue Dot before the vase and flower were glued to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink onto the small piece of Bubble Bath card and added to the card front. I used tape to mask off the words I didn’t want to use before stamping it down.

I mounted the sentiment, from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set onto my Stamp Positioner plate, inked it up with the Black Hybrid ink and stamped it onto the die cut label. I used the positioner in case I needed to stamp it multiple times. I then set it aside to dry which took quite a while.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a Tic-Tac-Toe board to inspire us. I have chosen the top line – Distress, Blue, Bike. This was a real challenge as distress and vintage techniques don’t come easily to me. I am more of a clean and simple girl.
