The vase is made by punching out a large oval then sliding one end into the Ornament punch to notch the top. I wasn't sure it would work, but it did! Then I textured the piece in the Big Shot with an SU Texturz Plate and sponged some ink to accentuate the texture. Like an old antique urn or something. I stamped the stems from Autumn Days then decided it needed something so I went in search of and found some dried flowers in my house which I just broke a few pieces from. Never done that before I gotta say!
I have a few more details on my blog post if you're interested, and a closeup of the vase with flowers.

I favorited this! I hadn't seen this sketch before and you used it such advantage...a beautiful card. I don't have the ornament punch, but what an ingenious idea...very effective. TFS
