Violet Bouquet

It has been such a long time since I played along with the Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS. So today I decided to give it a whirl. The featured stamper is Teneale Williams. I had never been to Her Gallery before, and I found some AWESOME things in there.

The card I chose to CASE can be seen HERE . I changed the stamps, but kept the general layout and color scheme. Of course, since I don't have any SU! cardstock I had to improvise with the colors.

The stamps I used are Memory Box Tall Vase and Violet Vase . I stamped the vase first, then used my Stamp Positioner to get the flowers in the vase precisely where I wanted them.



The flowers and vase were colored using Tombow (water based) markers. I aged the edges of the flower panel using Ranger Vintage Photo ink. On the red panel I stamped the Violet flowers with VersaMark in to create the watermark effect. I used my Design Ruler by Tim Holtz to pierce the red panel as well as the lines above and below the flower panel.

The ribbon is May Arts Brown Satin , and the sentiment is from Hero Arts Anytime Messages clear design stamp set.

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed mine, and AM NOT excited about going back to work tomorrow. Oh....what would it be like to be a lady of leisure? ??

Thanks for stopping by....have a great week!
