I made the mistake of looking at the Sketch Challenge before I went to bed. I actually slept for a short while, but woke up with this rockin' idea for this card. I had been wondering what to use for the circles that would be different than flowers. I did a vase card the other day that used a circle die and decided that would be perfect. Two of the vases are from circles, the other is from an oval. I stamped or textured the vases and added a top lip to them. I die cut greenery (since it needed it) and put everything on a shelf against a brick wall. I used yesterday's Color challenge with the addition of the greenery. I love how this card turned out! It is better than I imagined it!

Kathy, I love your vases. As soon as I saw them, I thought of a stamp I have that needs some dusting off - lol. And I love the wood flooring and brick wall. A very clever card and design. FAVED.

I love your brick wall with just the right amount of color and the woodgrain goes so perfectly. Your die cuts make this look like the perfectly manicured patio arrangement.
