Welcome to GKD STAMP TV's CSS ALUMNI INSPIRATION CHALLENGE for MAY. This great photo is provided by Brenda Turner. I love this beautiful photo!
You should have arrived here from the fabulous talented
Cheri Weston. If you get lost along the way , you can get the entire list of hop participants at
Stamp TV.
For my card I was inspired by the roses in the vase and rose colors. I used two stamp sets of Melanie Muenchinger, the roses are from "
Holiday Basket" and the vase is from "
Buds & Vases" both are from Gina K. Designs. The ribbon and card stock are also from GKD.
I colored the images with Copic's and cut them out. For the vase I wanted to use, I thought was a little too large for my roses, so I inked the inside lines with a memento marker and stamped it on some DP adding some grey shadows, then cutting along the inside lines, I now have a smaller vase!! It's like have two stamps in one!! I love that!
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning

What a great technique to adjust the size of the vase, Geri! Your card is gorgeous and the roses are colored to perfection!! Stunningly beautiful.

Gorgeous card, Geri! This is such an inspiring blog!!
Colors go so well together. The shading/edging/distressing on the die cut adds such depth to the whole card. Magnificent!
Making the vase smaller like that is a genius idea. Thanks for offering it to us.

Love the cut out roses, and great idea with the vase. Just love seeing everyone's different "take" on the same inspiration photo.
Geri, I love that you used the colours from the vase and flowers. Your card could be sitting on the table and fit right in with the picture.
I love your lacy bkgd. and the "Out of the Box" roses. The roses are colored so beautifully I can almost "smell" them. LOL Wonderful card.
Just beautiful
