After I colored this image with pencil trying to make the vases look like pottery, but it seemed to fall flat. It sat here a while before I thought of the ornamental pine technique. I did sponge a little antique linen on to add some lighting then covered with versamark and iridescent ice. Hope the tiny yellow blossoms are ok.
Thanks for looking.

Mmmmm, this is so peaceful and calm. Your little yellow flowers are more thank ok, they are so precious. I think adding a little touch of color in the challenges is ok, IMHO . Anyway, I love your sweet creation. Thanks for participating. Wishing you a 2015 filled with delicate flowers, colors, beauty and calm. Blessings, Lela

Oh My! I love the sparkle and the tiny yellow flowers! Ornamental pine technique, I need to look that up to see what that is, I am not familiar with the term but your card is brilliant so I need to look it up to see what I am missing! Beautifully done!

Wow! This must be my week for learning new and clever techniques. Covering with VersaMark and then Iridescent Ice all over give this card such a special and sparkly look. It's wonderful!
