Introducing Gracious Vases Day Four

It's day four of the Papertrey Ink countdown and yet another day of Gracious Vases samples. Today I'd like to focus on a couple techniques that work very well with this set...First up, heat embossing. Started this card by stamping a small row of vases and an orchid in Fresh Snow ink onto an Aqua Mist card base. Then heat embossed these images in white.I then impressed a Mat Stack #5 shape around the embossed images, embellished with a few rhinestones and attached a White Shimmer cardstock strip along the right edge.Next, paper piecing. I pulled out the new Damask Design pattern paper pack (also available June 15th) and covered the card base with a sheet of green damask.Stamped the liner vases and fillers onto a die cut Mat Stack #1. Stamped the liner vases again onto colored damask pattern paper, cut out and attached. This Mat Stack #4 Collection sentiment strip was stamped in Ripe avocado, then over that I stamped "Especially" and "for you" (both from Gracious Vases) in True Black. Cut the sentiment strip out and attached, with dimensional adhesive, just under the vases.

That's all I've got for day four, but I do hope that you've enjoyed today's Gracious Vases cards. Remember, if your as excited about this set as I am, you'll have the opportunity to purchase this set beginning June 15th!
