So after the flurry of morning activity I escaped to the craftie space and satisfied my 'sit down and do something' craving!
Played with the MISTI again too - have had these flower stamps from Clearly Besotted for a while but have struggled to get them lined up with the dies - the MISTI does do what it says on the tin and am eternally grateful to my lovely husband for the bestest Christmas present!!
Had a bit of fun with the window ledge - it's actually the bottom of a window die - was going to use the whole window but put inky fingermarks on it so had to cut the actual window frame off and just use the bottom bit!
Stuck onto the brick embossed background with some 3d foam - stands up really well and am pleased with the dimensional effect.
The red vase was mounted using some thin foam whereas the blue one had some really thick foam so it overlaps the red one. Same for the flowers and the leaves.
Popped little pearls in the same colours into the flower middles.
Left a sentiment off this - it's just one for the stash box so when I come to use it will decide what I'm going to put on it!
All snippets used for the vases/flowers so I am paying my first visit this year to the Playground!
Am also popping over to Less Is More where their challenge is 'Dimension' and to Dies R Us where Anything Goes with Dies.
Thanks for looking - coffee now in hand am into blogland to see what you've all been up to! x

Absolutely sweet card with the vases and flowers! Thanks so much for joining us at Dies R Us for the 'Anything Goes using Dies' Challenge! Please come back soon!
The flowers stand out beautifully from the white background and love the shelf, great rescue of an inky window die cut! A lucky mishap.
Best wishes for the new year!
Fabulous card! Crisp and clean and lovely colours.

Great card Viv. Normality indeed! Ain't it grand? xx Jan
These flowers are beautiful Viv and look fantastic with that brick background. I love the dimension of the vases and the ledge you have made from the window frame works so well here. x
So adorable Viv!! LOVE the sweet vases of flowers on the window box. Great job creating it from the window die-cut. And LOVE the texture and dimension from your brick embossed background. xx
Wow, Viv, love this, the flowers look like they are really on a shelf and smiling at us...great card.xx{aNNie}
I hope you packed that little fellow away safely when the tree came down Vi, especially as he looked so perplexed after Monday's match.
A very stylish card today.

Your card is a beauty Viv. Great use of the inky window die. It really does look good standing proud and the flowers look so pretty against the white wall. Barbxx

Perfect for our challenge. The bold focal point just pops against the textured white background. This is a great little CBS set, I have it too from a long time ago. Glad you're enjoying your MISTI too!
Thanks for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
Looks fabulous Viv I need a window ledge I have the vases and flowers and a wall but no ledge mmmmm. I really like this look, it has a great appeal to it.
A fantastic card, love the vase sitting on the ledge.
