I used the Vibrant Vases Stamp Set for the beautiful vases with the flowers and the sentiment is from the Varied Vases Stamp Set.

Tips & Instructions

  • Pear Pizzazz Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Flirty Flamingo Squares - 5 pieces at 2x2 each

  • Whisper White Squares - 5 pieces at 1 7/8 x 1 7/8

  • Whisper White Strip for sentiment - 4 1/4 x 1/2

  • Stamp vases and flower with black Ink on the 4 squares and on the 5th square turn it to be a diamond shape

  • On the focal diamond shaped image, use the filler stamp to color in the vase with Pear Pizzazz Ink and the flower with Flirty Flamingo Ink. Color the leaves with a Blender Pen picking up the ink from the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad or use a Stampin’ Write Marker.

  • Adhere each square to the Flirty Flamingo layer

  • Adhere 4 squares to card base and adhere the diamond shaped one with Dimensionals

  • Stamp sentiment with black ink on strip and adhere with Dimensionals

  • Make bow with 3 strands of Whisper White Linen Thread and adhere with glue dot
