A vase of tranquility

Good morning I am here with my first March design team post for Visible Image.
February went out in a blaze of sunshine, sadly we are back to usual March weather but at least there is no sign of the Beast from the East for now and my pots of primroses I bought are looking so bright and cheeful.

 I have shared 4 of the 6 new release mixed media stamp sets over the previous weeks. Today I am sharing a design which uses the last 2;

Random act of kindness

and See everything

I have also used one of the gorgeous new stencils;

Atomic flower

I had one of my light bulb moments for this project when I was staying with my daughter on Nanna duty. She had been bought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers which she arranged in a vase . She put this on a table and it looked so tranquil in her living room that my idea of creating a "Vase of tranquility" was born.

This is what I got up to.

I spayed some blue ink onto a piece of watercolour card and then added fossilized amber Distress oxide through the stencil

I made an "all seeing" vase from Kraft card and stamped part of the See everything stamp onto it

 I made lots of flowers, some I die cut out using a scallop circle die others I fussy cut.

I then got very busy colouring the flowers until I was happy with my bouquet. I added gel and glitter inks too.

Here is my finished Vase of Tranquility

and some close ups of the flowers, which I layered up with foam.

I would like to enter my picture into the following challenges;
