Since we had such a wide range of color combos, I made another! I chose the far left row of colors (saffron, pistachio, sky, cantaloupe) for my card. The main reason I went with these colors was I came across a bg I made a while back, using Embossing Folder Stamping & some shine sprays (I sprayed the colors directly onto the embossing folder, then lightly pressed it to the paper). The colors are almost exact matches, so that was that! Then I couldn't figure out what to do with it, lol. I finally pulled out one of my favorite images, these pottery vases, colored them w/ Copics & fussy cut them.
I stamped them again on top of the bg after I die cut it (no way was I going to cut out those skinny little branches), then attached them on top. An extra center vase was popped up. The greeting is combo of the actual stamp & a couple of die cut words w/ their first letters snipped off to replace the ones in the stamp. I used a stamp positioner to rearrange the rest of the greeting to fit where the die cut letters would be. A sky blue layer, some black sequins & a black Candi dot were added to finish.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff
