Paper Cupcake Challenge "Deco Flower Vase 2"

Here's another challenge card I designed for Paper Cupcake. The challenge this week is to use this terrific freebie that Nina designed and provided for us called "Deco Flower Vase 2". We were to put this image in a frame of some kind on our project. To get in on this Magic Monday Challenge and pick up your freebie just go to the challenge blog here. You will see lots of awesome inspiration to get your mojo flowing. Then....because you will like what you see. you may want to do a little shopping for more of Nina's creative images here at thePaper Cupcake store. This image is actually very versitile for all kinds of greeting cards. I used it here for a "thank you card". I colored the vase on Photoshop and the flowers were colored with Copic Markers and gel pens and glitter. The vase was cut out separately and attached with dimensionals to the image. I wrapped S.U. copper cording around the vase before attaching it. I made a little loopy bow for the vase as well as the one on the white cardstock. Papers are from S.U. "Riding Hood Red, Sahara Sand and black. Yellow paper and gems are from my stash. The sentiment is from S.U. and punched out with the S.U. scallopped square punch. Two different Cuttlebug folders were used to emboss the Sahara Sand and White cardstock. I used a Fiskars punch for the scallop on the yellow paper. I printed the paper for the inside with a plain black line around the edges and a partial image of the Deco Flower Vase. There's plenty of room here to write a nice thank you note since the card is 5x7. Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed this post.
