Project Recipe
Paper dimensions:
~Card base, Gorgeous Grape CS: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
~Inside layer, Whisper White: 5 1/4" x 4"
~Outside layer, Shimmery White: 5 1/4" x 4"
~Scrap, Whisper White for vases
*Fold & burnish (crease) the gorgeous grape card base.
*Adhere your whisper white (not shimmery) layer on the inside of the card.
*On the white piece of scrap paper with black ink, stamp the 2 different vase outlines. Be sure to stamp them far enough apart that when using your punch, you will not mess one up when punching another. DO NOT PUNCH YET.
*Using the Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp the tall vase, without an outline. Then use the blender pen and blend the Gorgeous Grape ink into the outline of the other 2 vases to give a designer effect. +NOTE+ The more you rub in one area of the paper the chances of piling will get greater. TIP: Practice on scrap paper to get the blending technique down before doing it on your card if you need to try it first.
*Now punch all 3 vases out.
*On the shimmery white layer, just more than halfway down, stamp the shelf in the Tuxedo Black ink all the way to the right of the paper.
*About ½” under the shelf, with the black ink, stamp HOPING YOUR DAY BLOOMS WITH HAPPINESS!
*Using the vase as a guide. Continue with the black ink and stamp the outline of the flower on the right making sure it’s down far enough from the top but not touching the shelf. Continue to stamp the middle flower outline. For the flower outline on the left, you will need a scrap piece of paper to lay over your card base to protect it from the bottom of the stem the will be overlapping the shelf. This flower needs to be stamped lower because of the size of the vase. Use your scrap paper as a barrier between the card base and stamp with ink so that you DO NOT over stamp this on the card.
*Using the Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp flower fills on the left and the right within the outlines.
*Using the Highland Heather ink, stamp the flower fills in the center within the outlines.
*Adhere the Whisper White Sheer Ribbon around the front, near the bottom of the card with a bow. (I put my snail on the back of the layer. Wrapped the ribbon around the front, cut, and made a bow with the remainder and adhered with a glue dot.)
*Adhere shimmery white layer to the card base.
*Place a dimensional on the back of each vase and adhere each to the white layer over the flower stems, aligning with the shelf.
*Apply the 3 clear faceted gems and you are done!
