Another July Swap

Sometimes I get very worried about myself when I see my past my creations!  I honestly don't know where all this creativity comes from ..... today I cannot think straight but for this card I must have been rightminded although I only knew I wanted to use Flowersoft.
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.
