       Good morning to all my crafting friends:)  For sure Fall is in the air around here.  I live in the foot hills of Maine. and the evenings are getting cooler, we have even had a couple of frost advisories.  I love fall, it is a beautiful time of year around here,  The foliage is just beautiful, and the air is feels brisk and fresh.  I also love the colors of the fall flowers.  I am a flower lover, I used to plant alot of flowers, but not so much any more, so for my project today, I decided to use the Artiste cartridge to make a vase and some fall colored flowers to put in it.

The vase, I found in the booklet with the 3D images. middle row next to the last image.  It is cut at 8 and one half inches.   I used papers from a stack from K&Co , I don;t have the cover for it so I am sorry I do not have the name for it right now, I will try to find it again and post later.

The butterflies were cut from the cartridge at 2 inches and Bo Bunny rhinestones added for bling.  On each flower I cut a button flower from Artiste for the centers/

I cut several of the different flowers at 2 to 2 and 3/4 inches, from the cartridge and most of them I made at least 2 layers.

I inked the edges of all the flowers with Tim Holtz distress inks...Spiced Marmalade, Walnut and Olive.  Then I curled the edges of the petals.  I added one of my Vines I had at home to fill it in a little.  I put a sea sponge inside the vase, glued each flower to floral wires with a glue gun. and poked them down inside.

For the front of the vase I  added a couple 3D roses from the cartridge and inked them, and made a "FALL" sign stamped with Close To My Heart's September Stamp of the month set..Fall Favorites.  I inked around the edge with spiced Marmalade.  And lastly, I cut out one of the 3D bows for the front of the vase, they are so cool, they have holes in them pre-cut so you can just put a brad through to hold together the bow...Love them!!
