Yeah... I know this challenge was a couple of weeks ago, but I need Mother's Day Cards and finally had a chance to try these! The challenge can be found here:
#1. Stamps are "Flowers of Happiness" by There She Goes. Papers: Watercolor, GP White and Generic Brown. Ink: Black StazOn, Mauve Mist & Certainly Celery. Accessories used: Aqua painter, Brads, Ribbon, Cuttlebug, Shapeabilities labels, MS border punch & computer generated sentiment. Technique: Watercoloring with ink.
#2. Digital image by Chris Dark. Bashful Blue, GP White and generic brown papers. Accessories: Koh-i-noor colored pencils, OMS, Blending stump, Ribbon, Fiskar's Treading Water punch, Computer generated sentiment. Technique: Gamsol (OMS) Magic
#3. Stamps are "In Full Bloom" & "Weathered" by SU! Always Artichoke, watercolor & GP White papers. Ink: Black StazOn, Pixie Pink & Always Artichoke. Accessories: Aqua Painter, Ribbon, MS border punch, computer generated sentiment. Technique: Watercoloring with ink.
Unlike the directions, I used thin "redline" tape and glued the sides of the pot together. After placing the ribbon, I glued the top "flap" down too. Card #2 was kind of my "practice card". I cut the pot wrong and wasn't thrilled with the ribbon, so it's just going to be a "sample" card @ the Beauty shop where I sell my stuff, so people can see how they work. I only glue the top portion of the flowers to the pull out too, so the bottom part hangs over the pot. Please, let me know what you think!

Really pretty! Love how your flower 'hang over' the pots - great idea!! I was wondering about using sticky strip, too, so thanks for thumbs up on using it. TFS
