Introducing Gracious Vases Day Five

Hello everyone! Keeping things simple today, for day five of the Papertrey Ink countdown. So, I've got a couple simply designed cards, using Gracious Vases, to share with you...First up, I paired Gracious Vases with the soon to be released Think Big Favorites #5. Started by stamping "Congrats" in True Black onto a Rustic White card base.Stamped a few vases in Aqua Mist, Berry Sorbet & Summer Sunrise, and a filler in Ripe Avocado. I then selectivly inked a couple dotted strips, from one of the images included in the Mat Stack #1 Collection set, in True Black. Finished the card off with a rounded corner.For this simple second card, I stamped a row of vases in the same colors as above onto a white card base.Then stamped a few embellishing images in True Black, a couple fillers and the sentiments "Happy Birthday" and "to you". And that was it, easy peasy!

So who's ready to get their hands on Gracious Vases?! You don't have to wait very long, tomorrow is the big Papertrey Ink June release day and this little set will be ready to make it's way to your home! I hope I've inspired you through this entire countdown week and I thank you all for your supportive and encouraging comments! I hope to see your Gracious Vases creations soon!

Now, be sure to visit Nichole Heady , Dawn McVey, Heather Nichols, Melissa Bickford, Alli Miles and Lizzie Jones for even more peeks at this month's new goodies.

  2. You indicated you stamped Congrats in black first and then the colored vases. Would think you'd have to stamp the vases first and then the sentiment on top. Anyway, it's beautiful as love your choice of colors!
