These are so much fun to make, I had to do a couple of more! The idea & instructions are from the technique lover's challenge (TLC215) a couple of weeks ago and can be found here:
The flowers on both cards are "Flowers of Happiness" from There She Goes. They are so versitile! The flowers and leaves were stamped with black StazOn and were colored with Koh-i-noor colored pencils and Prismacolor color pencils, and blended with OMS and stumps. Now, the rest of the deets:
#1 I used SU's Weathered stamp for the cracks on the pot. Cardstock is Really Rust and GP White - I distressed the pot a bit with Really Rust ink, both sponging and swiping the pad direct to paper. Accessories not mentioned above Fiskars Treading Water Punch, SU! Ribbon & mini gold stickons.
#2 The lavender paper is DP by Debbie Mumm and glued to GP white cardstock. I used my Cuttlebug and an embossing folder (don't know the name of it) on the bottom portion of the pot. Also used MS butterfly punch, MS doily border punch and mini pearls on the butterfly and flower centers. The ribbon is Offray.
