This is for IC204 featuring the website Franz Porcelein. I selected this image as inspiration: http://stores.preciouspossessions.com/Detail.bok?no=662. Although I just adore that vase, I had a Dickens of a time getting my mojo on last night when I made this card. I couldnÂ’t quite get the concept to paper. I hope we all know how that feels!
The leaves and flower were cut on the Cricut, I highlighted the leaves with a gold gel pen and coated the flower with Crystal Effects. I would have preferred to use black gloss card stock as the background, but I couldnÂ’t find a single piece in all of my paper stash. So instead I used an Italian shimmery paper from Cordenons.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

You sure translated something to this card - there's an amazing feeling of movement, as if a gentle breeze were blowing. And the flower is especially beautiful.

Oh Miss M, this too was one of my choices had I not gone with the dragonfly one. So glad I didn't try this one because mine never could have compared to this beauty. Your glossy flower is beautiful. I love the black with the gold on the vase. What a simply divine card done by you. TFS :0)
