I used Mama Elephant's Sweet Havana set to stamp this card for a friend, going through a tough time at the moment. I stamped the jug with Cobblestone ink, then used some gray Copics to give some depth and roundness to the jug. I stamped the flowers in Lavender and Blue Violet ink, leaving a couple of them without the dotty bits to make it look like they are different flowers. In hindsight, it just looks like I forgot to stamp the dotty bits! The leaves were stamped in Beanstalk Green and Green Leaf inks.
The banner is from the Tags a Lot die set and is bigger than the banner that comes with Sweet Havana, so I could fit the flower as well as the sentiment. I used Wink of Stella to paint over all the flowers.
Thanks for visiting.

Love this sketch and the pitcher of flowers! My mom used to fill a china pitcher like this with lilacs every Spring. Thanks for bringing back that memory.
This is so pretty! My mother would love this because she was always cutting lilacs and bringing them in the house! I love how the one leaf is folded over the top of the jug.
