I started by stamping the Percolator circle with Memento Tuxedo Black onto lovely lilac and more mustard. Then I stamped it eight more times onto white. I coloured four of the percolators with copics, cut them out and attached them with dimensionals. Then I coloured only the flowers on the last four images, cut them out and popped them for dimension. The only tricky cutting part was the handle because it's so skinny, but I used my Bo Bunny Retractable Knife for that part and my scissors for the rest. I coloured the steam with a light grey Prismacolour pencil.
The four squares were cut out with Nestabilities then I pierced around the circles to highlight them a little. I layered the images onto some black and olive then stitched around the edge to brighten it up a little with white thread. The card base is 5.5 inches square and the patterned paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle's Zinnia line...it's full of gorgeous greens, purples, yellows...yum! There's a little green velvet ric rac ribbon peeking out from the edges of the image panel. Of course I just had to add some Glamour Dust glitter to all the circles because these are girly percolators.
