Multicoloured Vases Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a colour challenge. I have made my card using the pretty Garden Gatherings stamp set and dies.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the multicoloured vases card using the following supplies:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Azure Afternoon – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 1¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Poppy Parade, Azure Afternoon & Garden Green

 

I used the Dotted Lines Masks, Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon ink to add a little texture to the background of the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card. The panel was then adhered to the Azure Afternoon layer and then to the Garden Green card front.

We glued the embossed piece to the 4⅛ by 3⅛” piece of Thick Basic White card with a small border around both sides and the bottom. It won’t reach the top of the panel, and this is intentional.
