I wanted to try a flower pot card, and our local high school logo is a bee - this is the school colors. The pot is stamped with lots of the bees, and the rim is stamped with 1 bee. I used a piercing tool to make a flight pattern with holes, and had to use a clip art leaf and cut it out. I curled the edges of the leaves slightly, and markers to make veins on the leaves. The flowers were punched using a 1 1/2" scalloped edge circle (punched holes in each scallop), and double mounted with a 1 1/4" circle punch, and 1 3/8" circle punch using dimensional dots. The middle circle was multiple stamped using a SU circle circus stamp in a cheapy brand maroon ink, then sponged on the edges. I used the largest rectangle nestabilities scalloped die and let it hang off the edges of the front of the pot, and only cranked it halfway through the big shot. I like the look of the embossed edge as well as if I had used a scalloped edge punch. I cut out the flower pot, and used a cuttlebug scoring tool to score the edges. I found inspiration for this card on the entire site for flower pot cards, and I have 7 flower pots cut out to do more! The inside has, "What's buzzin, cuzzin?"
