A while back I created my first flower pot card the traditional way - click HERE to see it.So when the planning came up for my team's winter extravaganza of stamping projects I volunteered to do it. In hindsight am I really glad the very talented Andrea Walford created a template to print directly onto the card stock - this is my easiest prep ever. The original concept was to use stamped flowers which look really beautiful & colourful but time consuming to cut out. Then Pauline McCardle shared with me what she'd done using the scallop punch with designer paper , black circle centres & rhinestone brads - they looked pretty amazing BUT along came Laurie from Inspired Designs with her sunflowers & I would not be budged I LOVED IT and guess what it's really easy (so perfect for an event like ours). So I've used her idea but created it in pink pirouette; as chocolate & pink are so yummy.
Stamp set: Thank You Kindly, Best Yet
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Bella Rose DSP
Punches: Scallop eyelet border, 1-¼" circle, 1" circle, small oval, 5-petal flower, boho blossom punch, ¼" circle punch (I used a hole punch)
Other: Pink pirouette ribbon
Well I'm quietly confident that this will be a success tomorrow & I hope everyone that is attending has a great day (including all us demos).
Your flower pot is beautiful Karen.
ReplyDeleteOh I miss extravaganzas! Hope it all goes well. Your flower pot is sure to be a hit - the colour combo is YUMMY and punches are a winner every time.

Hey Karen, Love it, and the scallops sure would speed it up (I made mine with LOTS of cutting). Thanks for sharing the great idea. Sharlene
