I was so happy when I saw Audrie's challenge as West Elm is no stranger to me. I've been getting catalogs from them for quite a few years and could spend hours browsing around on their website!
When I first went to their site I was intrigued by some vases I saw on the home page and decided to start their looking for inspiration. I came across this and didn't look at another thing.
This vase stamp by Serendipity is one of my favorite stamps and it fit the bill perfectly. I colored the stamp with SU markers added a tiny bit of shading at the bottom and was done!
I'm still making cards for this months Cards for a Cause and will include this. I did not add embellishments or a sentiment so it would be minimum postage and could be used for a number of occasions. TFL

I have and love this stamp. It's wonderful to see it in your clean neutral colours, which I've never tried. DH is sitting beside me, on the phone, and has pointed over to a card I made - he recognised the stamp in your card instantly. And the red twigs are just like we saw beside the lake the other day. Thanks for the inspiration, Robin - I'll look at this stamp differently next time I pull it out.
