Good morning! I'm back with a card inspired by another lovely stamp set from Newton's Nook Designs April release. Versatile Vases is a great set- there are so many things you can do with it! Here is what I made:
Have you heard of the masking tape technique? I saw it while perusing the internet the other day and wanted to try it ever since! It reminded me of sea glass in a way- all mottled and imperfect. I thought it would make a perfect background for Versatile Vases.
I used a few lighter Stampin' Up! inks to get this look. The newer foam pads come out a lot more colorful than the older felt ones, just so you know :) Once my background was dry, I started stamping. I started with the mason jar, then added the blossoms and finished with the sentiment. This look didn't take long at all! I embellished it with just a bit of glitter on the flowers and a small piece of linen thread tied around the jar.
