Inspired By All The Little Things #81

Hello friends.  Playing along at Inspired By All The Little Things today, and the inspiration photo is just lovely!!

I love the lacey like flowers and the glass containers with the vintage labels...sweet, sweet photo!!  Here's what I came up with:


I used a Elizabeth Craft Designs die (1321 - Dandelion Fluff) for my flowers and inked up the stems with Mossy Meadow ink and the flower part with a touch of Smokey Slate ink and quite a bit of Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz, so IRL it really sparkles!!  My background is a Heidi Swapp one with Soft Suede ink and I also used the ink for my sentiment label from PTI's Garden Of Faith Sentiments.  The little jar is from PTI also and embossed in white on vellum with some Stormy Sea distress ink on the backside.  I didn't add anything else as it seemed busy enough with the background and all the sparkle on the flowers.  (I feel like I should be calling them dandelions since that is what the die is called, but dandelions are weeds and these are too pretty to be called weeds!  So for the sake of my card, they're going to be flowers!!)

Make sure you check out all the beautiful cards from the DT and their special guest Kelly Lunceford, and then play along right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Beautiful vintage style card Marcia. The stamping in the background is beautiful and works so perfectly with the vase of flowers. Love the idea of using vellum for your vase (jar). I have the Sheer Sparkle and it IS AMAZING! xx
