Fresh Flowers Birtday

Here's a card I made with some awesome products from Taylored Expressions, the amazing Fresh Flowers set and the Mother's Day Key Ingredients. I was playing around with Flower Soft again so I actually have two versions of the same card to show you. Let's go with the plain version first:

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Choice Buttercream cardstock (included in the Mother's Day Key Ingredients) and coloured with copics. I masked the vase so the stems wouldn't show...I was going for the look of a coloured glass pitcher. I added some clear rhinestones to the flower centers and coloured them with a blue copic marker (I can't stop doing this little trick ever since I discovered it a couple of weeks ago). 

I used one of the new scallop EK slim border punches for the long brown piece and dotted it with rhinestones. 

Now for the version with Flower Soft:

Everything about the card is exactly the same, but I covered all the flowers in the vase with Sweet Pea Flower Soft. Next I stamped some individual flowers onto Choice Buttercream, coloured them with copics and cut them out. I layered the flowers onto the Flower Soft. 

I was going for the look of a very full bouquet of flowers, using the Flower Soft as a filler. 

I can't decide which version I like better...hmmm. Which do you like best? 

Thanks for stopping by!
