Kim's challenge for the WT today was to use a gradient ink pad or create your own. I have an old ColorBox Paintbox rainbow pad, so used the purple and red end from that to stamp my flowers.
Tutorial for the Flower Pot card is in Resources.
I used Bazzill for the base, and stamped the front of the pot with Pretty Petals in black. I used grosgrain ribbon to tie it together, and added a butterfly embellishment. For the inner piece I used Basic Grey Sugar Rush on the Bazzill base, with the edges corner-punched. The stamps down the side are Flower Frames 2 from ODBD, and Bloom is from Flourishes. I built up my flower arrangement sticking some to the base to start, and then popping some up on foam onto the earlier ones, added punched greenery along the way. Doodlebug gems for the centres finished it off. I had fun with this - thanks for the challenge, Kim.

Well, I like everything about your card! Using the gradiant ink worked so well on the flowers. You have motivated me to try a flower pot card. Way to go Sabrina.
