This is for Anne's Inspiration Challenge - Signals site. I found a lot of inspiration. This one jumped out at me for a quick birthday card going in the mail on Monday.
The row of vases on the windowsill reminded me of this cute stamp. Since I would be making a birthday card, I didn't want the sentiment with the image; I used a large post-it note to block the sentiment when inking and then I removed the note and stamped. Worked like a charm! At first I was going to match the vase colors, then I decided to pick five colors, and watercolor the flowers how I liked and mix up the colors for the vases. Matted with black, popped up on an embossed turquoise panel. The Snow Burst pattern always looks like flowers to me. Used two sentiments in different colors. Applied Wink of Stella to the flowers and vases.
Fun card to make. Thanks for looking!

Diane, your coloring on these delicate images is so nice! Love your tempting turquoise layer .... I've just recently discovered that color and I really enjoying using it on my projects.

Very pretty birthday card. I love the embossed bg to show off your row of vases. I bet that Wink of Stella looks great on flowers and vases...such a fun embellishment (which unfortunately doesn't show up very well in photos). Terrific take on your inspiration.

You know, I always wanted this stamp but never got it. If so, I would've used it today for the same inspiration and had 2 cards in the gallery!! I like the embossed background and the cute curvy verse.
