Todays F4A challenge is 'Gone to Pot' - any type of container is good to go in any way we want! I chose a terracotta pot - cut it at 2.5'' as were the tools. I sponged the pot with Distress Ink and heavily sponged the tool handles before gluing to the silver die cuts. I added flowers to the pot after putting in some foliage and popped Crystal Drops to the flower centres. The flower spike with the sentiment is just poked in.

Very striking card with the textures - 3d flowers, glazed centers- and the off center placement of the pot. I always just plop things right in the center of the card ( must be a subconscious political statement). Tis looks do good that I am planning to try to focus on better placement of my focal images. Thos gardening tools turned out beautifully.

Great Card! Love the shading...the way the light reflected off the silver I thought you found a way to make the trowel look like it had dirt stuck on it!
