Birthday Pot Of Flowers!

Hello, I made this for my SIL's 50th birthday. I also used this weeks challenge colours CC215, basic grey, rose red & pink pirouette. The flower pot directions can be found under Mondays Try a New Technique, TLC215, flower pot card. Although I used going grey for the flower pot, I did sponge basic grey ink onto the pot.

I cut an extra piece for the front & embossed it with the textile EF. The edge is punched with a fiskars edge punch.The flowers were made with 2 sizes of marvy punches, and the smallest flower is made with a fiskars punch. The centers are silver brads.The leaves a made with the sizzix little leaves die (one of my fav's) in kiwi kiss.

The ribbon is kiwi kiss, and I added a butterfly charm.

I hope she likes it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Flowers for Easter

Hello, I made this for the Flower pot card challenge TLC215 & the colour challenge CC213 using so saffron, close to cocoa and bashful blue.

The flowers in the outside pic look a bit turquiose, but they are bashful blue! What a great challenge, a pot of flowers can be used for so many occasions. In this case, they will be for someone special at Easter.

The pot is close to cocoa. I used a scallop diamond edge punch (EK) for the rim and all the edges were sponged.

The flowers were all made using 2 sizes of the marvy flowers punches, and the SU 3 flower punch. The leaves were made with the sizzix leaf die. All the flowers have copper brads in the centers.

The sentiment from 'All Year Cheer 1' was stamped in so saffron.

I finished it with SU ribbon, and a little rabbit made with a Martha Stewart punch.

Happy Easter Weekend
