This idea came to me this afternoon. I saw a hanging basket and saw the sketch. So after work and getting kids to bed. I tried to pull these elements together. I tried Mothermark's cloud technique. I also used the faux wood technique on the bottom and sides. I had a stamp that hadn't seen ink yet that reminded me of bricks. I stamped that with versamark ink and embossed with copper ep. I crocheted the hemp and added it to my altered, scalloped circle to make the basket. I added some flower stickers to my basket. Let me know what you think.

What a great creative idea...It's amazing what inspires us all to put an idea to a card! This is wonderful! Your clouds look great!! (thanks for the mention!) and your little summer basket of flowers looks wonderful!
Yikes...you remind me...I still have not planted by flowers!!!!
Can't seem to get them done, maybe I should bring them indoors and do it in my stamp room! Snort!

Wow MariLynn, this is incredible! It's one of the most creative and original pieces of art I've seen! Your faux wood is fantastic! The brick really does look like brick and the flower basket from the scallop circle is sheer genius! Your clouds look great... there is so much here to look at and take it I can dwell here all night just gazing! Awesome job girlfriend!
