Minimalist flowers

 A very simple card for Retro Rubber's Challenge 146. In fact, embarrassingly simple! Ah well. Varied Vases is from a 2017 Stampin' Up catalogue. 

Ingredients: Stampin' Up!: card (Whisper White, Thick Whisper White, Black Foil), Varied Vases stamps, Varied Vases punch. 

Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Ooh - a great sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch for challenge #336 and a gorgeous colour combination from CAS Colours and Sketch's challenge #335! And even better, I finally made a card using Varied Vases that actually worked. Somehow, I just haven't been able to execute my previous ideas with these stamps, even though I love them.
Here is the result:

Ingredients:
Stampin' Up! card (Gorgeous Grape, Crushed Curry, Whisper White), ink, (Gorgeous Grape, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Highland Heather), stamps (Varied Vases, Vibrant Vases), Vases punch, Memento black ink

Vases four ways

I loved the combination of colours in Hand Stamped Sentiments' Challenge #302, but it wasn't until I saw As You See It's challenge #189 - a 'quadtriptych' card - that I worked out how to use them together. I liked the idea of removing an element of colour in each of the parts, but repeating the central image:

Ingredients: STampin' Up card (Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Merry Merlot, Pumpkin Pie), ink (Merry Merlot, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie), stamps (Varied Vases) and die (Bunch of Banners)

Elegant vases

I was so happy when my Stampin' Up Varied Vases arrived - I'd been looking forward to playing with it. The combination of a great sketch from Just Add Ink and colours from Color Throwdown gave me the chance. (I always feel odd about writing 'colour' - spelling it the English way - when the blog is spelt the American way, but I feel even odder spelling it without the 'u'! So I've resigned myself to two spellings in the same sentence!)
Here's the card. I tried to get three different intensities of navy on the vases, but not sure how successful I was!

Card ingredients:

Stampin' Up ink (Night of Navy, Blushing Bride, Basic Black), card (Blushing Bride, Night of Navy, Whisper White), stampset (Varied Vases) 

Other: francheville gold diamantes and some gold washi tape (sorry, no idea where I got it!)
