Audrie was kind enough to ask me and I love the site she chose! After browsing for a long while, I kept coming back to <span style=\"color: #ffadad;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/globaltable.com\/product_view.php?id=73\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ffadad;\">THESE<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> vases. I just love the colors and curves so I tried to incorporate those in my card.<\/p>\n<p>I cut a piece of white card stock then used a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spellbinderspaperarts.com\/Products\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spellbinders<\/a> curved border die to divide it in 3 pieces. I had to turn the die a couple of times to get the piercing on the sides I wanted. The wide section I left white and embossed w\/ a Chevron folder. The turquoise &amp; red sections, I added the color w\/ Copic markers. I attached them to a white 4 x 5.25 piece of white c\/s. It&#8217;s wrapped w\/ seam ribbon that I colored to match using the same red Copics. The greeting panel was die cut w\/ a coordinating die and w\/ the die in place, I added color using the same turquoise &amp; red Copics, removed the die &amp; stamped the greeting image w\/ Versafine. I prefer Versafine for clear, dark stamping, especially when using clear stamps like these, but the ink doesn&#8217;t work well under Copics, so I colored w\/ the Copics first, then stamped on top. The image layer behind it is a border design that coordinates w\/ Labels 26. I added just a touch of color then cut it in half so I could pull the sides in &amp; make it a bit narrower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Blessings-in-a-bottle-cu02598.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-14984\" title=\"Blessings in a bottle cu02598\" alt=\"Julie Warner \u2013 https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Blessings-in-a-bottle-cu02598.jpg\" width=\"415\" height=\"550\" \/><br \/>\nI<\/a>\u00a0added 3 little black gems to kind of balance things out.
