I used a gold peel off vase on the 'window' of an envelope and fussy cut the vase.
Somewhere in Blogland I read about removing the glue from double sided tape and rolling it into a sausage - to enable sticking small items - but this time I was using it as the stalks for my Delphinium themed ATC.

Once the sausage was rolled I stamped it all over with several shaded of green ink, it didn't show up as one solid green but turned out to be variegated which gave it a much better look - to me anyways!!!
I punched some small leaves from some bright green paper to complete the card.I cut the adhesive into short lengths, to look like flower stems, rolled two thirds of each one into some liquid glue and then the Flower Soft. I left everything to dry overnight.
I printed out a picture of an eye, a fantasy type one, and then added a definition of Delphinium that I found on the web.I placed the stems behind the peel off vase then adhered it to the card leaving the top slightly open so that I could place some leaves in among the flowers and around the top edge of the vase.
I cut the card round the blue border, leaving one of the Delphiniums overlapping the edge.
My finished card.
I received this beauty from my partner. I can't tell whether it is a watercolour or not but it certainly looks like it.
Thank you Caro.
