The Maui Stamper

I’ve already made dozens of cards with Varied Vases, but this is one of my favorites:

• Stamps: Varied Vases
• Color palette: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Mint Macaron, Highland Heather
• Accesories:  Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Basketweave Dynamic TIEF, Vases Builder Punch,  Stampin’ Dimensionals,  Watercolor Pencils, Basic Gray ribbon from SAB (retired).

I used a sticky note to create a mask for the stems. It was a bit of fussy cutting, but I couldn’t NOT do it. The beautiful stems in this versatile set lend themselves to tropical arrangement, and I’ve had so much fun arranging these flowers.

Fussy cutting isn’t my favorite thing, but when it’s worth it, it’s worth it. The only difference in this second stepped-up version is the fussy cut stems, but I love the added dimension. Sharp eyes will spot tiny dots of Daffodil Delight in the blossoms.

One more version, this time with the current Silver Metallic Edge ribbon.  I also used a Blender Pen to hand color the stems so that I could vary the tones.  You’ll want to do the coloring before you cut this one out, as the cuttings is VERY fussy.
