Today I am sharing the sweet card I made for the Inspire Create colour challenge #034 using the new Vibrant Vases stamp set. I love that Stampin’ Up! have brought us another stamp set to use with our existing Vases Builder Punch, such great value for money.

Challenge

For the challenge we had to use the following colours:

Making the card

I began by stamping the base colours of each of the vases in either Call Me Clover, Calypso Coral or Pineapple Punch inks onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. I checked which way the images were punched out using the Vases Builder Punch to make sure I stamped them the correct way up. I the stamped the detailed version of each vase over the top using Night of Navy ink, I love the two tone look this gives to the vases. I then punched out each of the vases using the Vases Builder Punch.

Using the fab new Stitched Rectangle dies I cut a stitched rectangle from a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4 ¼” by 3”. Placing each vase on the die cut Whisper White panel to get an idea of placement, I moved each vase aside and stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink – I had originally thought I would colour the flowers in with Blends but changed my mind.

Using the Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick, Calypso Coral and Call Me Clover ink I filled in each of the flowers and leaves. I love that the infill stamps leave some white space on the flowers, so pretty. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added the vases below the flowers.

I then die cut a the next size up stitched rectangle from Night of Navy cardstock and the next size again from Whisper White cardstock and glued the 3 rectangle layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking a Lovely Lipstick card base I added ¼” strips of Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral, Call Me Clover and Night of Navy ink to the upper right side of the card front and added the stamped piece over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card off I added some of the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.

I am really happy with this card, the colours really sing.

Supplies Used

This week’s GDP #165 challenge is to make a project using the colours; Crumb Cake, Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide. I have to say these aren’t colours I would normally gravitate towards but I really enjoyed using them. This is what I came up with.

I chose the Half Full stamp set and stamped the bottles in the Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide onto Very Vanilla cardstock and added a layer of Merry Merlot behind having rounded the upper right corners………love a rounded corner!

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed in White on Tranquil Tide. The whole piece was then added to a layer of Merry Merlot. I wrapped a piece of Braided Linen Twine to the stamped piece and tied a bow.
