This week our cards are going off to the beautiful Southwestern state of Arizona. Betty a friend of Dorothy aka Etsdas has some pretty serious medical issues and could use some Teapotter cheer! Not that Arizona needs more sunshine, but Betty could use a little more indoors, since that is where she is spending her days. And besides, she loves flowers!
Here's a cart full of sunny yellow flowers for Betty. Oh and she goes by the nickname of Sunshine, so these sunny flowers are just another addition to the sunshine we are delivering to Betty.
I made the little cart by just piecing pieces of this woodgrain c/s together. The wheel is a center piece from the 2010 snowflake set of dies. The flower pots are from a stamp that has daffodils growing out of them, but I just wanted the pots, so that's all I stamped and cut. The flowers, well, I punched about 100 of these little buggers, though all of them didn't get used. Shaped them and added the orange Stickles.
The greenery is from flourishes that are cut apart and a leaf punch.
There are dimensionals behind the cart, so the flower pots are behind that.
To top off all these sunny flowers, I stamped the word Sunshine just for Betty!

What a great flower cart.
Oh my goodness - your hand must be tired from all that punching - what an awesome result. Thank you for the details on how you did this - I would not have been able to figure that out - much less actually to it! You are pretty close to the 42,000 flowers here - thank you so much.
