'Vibrant Vases' & the Vases Builder Punch!

Look at the embossing folder in the background of this card.   I used the Lovely Floral Embossing folder.  It is so pretty & just makes this card pop!

If you would look inside my house you would be able to tell that I love shades of grays & browns.  I designed this card to coordinate with the Wood Textures DSP.  In the photo the DSP looks more brown....but in person you can see all of the grays in it.  

I shadow stamped the flowers onto a 2 3/4" strip of Whisper White card stock using the Powder Pink ink pad & then punch it out using the 2" Circle Punch.  I added the Wink of Stella over the top of them.  

I stamped the vase onto a 2" strip of Whisper White card stock using the Gray Granite ink pad & punched it out using the Vase Builder punch.

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  It was also the first night of racing for the 2019 season.  Ainslee got sick on Tuesday night- so I offered to stay home with her since it was so cold & windy out.  Trey decided he wanted to stay with us too, so the 3 of us hung out all night together.  I worked on stamping stuff when they left. 

Nathan didn't have a great night racing.  He got 5th in his heat & didn't finish the main, as he had motor problems.   

Deke & I are up early this morning at 5 to mark, sort & load hogs.  I'll then head to town to take the big boys to school & spend my day with the 3 little ones.

I have a roaster of pork cooking......so we'll all have a yummy supper.  I'll be sending a couple crock pots of meat with Nathan to his work tomorrow too- for an office luncheon he is doing.  

Tonight I'll be cutting card stock & working on my swap!!!  LOTS to do yet before I mhead to Minnesota tomorrow morning for a couple of Stampin' Up! Events. 

I hope you have a great Thursday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs-
