Using the Bob Burridge method to start this floral, i didnt particularly like the vase. So I looked for an alternate in my paper stash. This wonderful gold marbled turquoise color caught my eye. After it was cut and applied with gel medium, the color changed to a deep blue. Not what I planned but its workable. Just means color tones in background needed adjusting. So here is the vase shown next to raw paper. And finally the finished work.
