Flowers in Red and Blue

Hi Dreamers!
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!  I was able to get some cards made over the weekend.  I have two cards to share with you made with The Potted Tulip stamp from Blockheads Stamp which is included in  the Victorian Eccentricities set or available as a single.  I made a red and a blue version.

Materials List for both Cards:

Blockheads Paper Arts Stamps: Victorian Eccentricities 

Crackle Background

Archival Ink from Ranger- Sienna and Cobalt

Adirondack Ink from Ranger - Butterscotch

Distress Ink- Tea Dye

Pages from a Dictionary

CS in White, Cream, Dark Taupe, Mustard, and Navy

Crinkle CS in Gray

Stamp the image with Sienna ink and cut out.   On a page from the dictionary, stamp the Crackle background stamp in Butterscotch ink.  Crumple the page and smooth out.  Spritz very lightly with water on the un-stamped side.  Crumble again, smooth, dry with heat gun.  Distress with Tea Dye ink.  Tear page into desired size.   Distress two pages in this way- one for each card.

Detail

Layer the CS's and add the flowers and vase with dimensional squares.  Add some fun fibers and a fancy brad.

Now, I can grab this when I need a card for an occasion and add whatever sentiment I like.    To make the  Blue Flower card stamp the vase and flowers twice on white CS with Cobalt ink.

Cut out one set and layer over the other stamped vase.  Add the dictionary page and CS layers.

I love wired ribbon...You can make it into any shape you like.  I cut a couple lengths of ribbon in half lengthwise.  I formed the ribbon into several fun shapes and glued to the card.
