Kim's challenge for the WT today was to use a gradient ink pad or create your own. I have an old ColorBox Paintbox rainbow pad, so used the purple and red end from that to stamp my flowers.
Tutorial for the Flower Pot card is in Resources.
I used Bazzill for the base, and stamped the front of the pot with Pretty Petals in black. I used grosgrain ribbon to tie it together, and added a butterfly embellishment. For the inner piece I used Basic Grey Sugar Rush on the Bazzill base, with the edges corner-punched. The stamps down the side are Flower Frames 2 from ODBD, and Bloom is from Flourishes. I built up my flower arrangement sticking some to the base to start, and then popping some up on foam onto the earlier ones, added punched greenery along the way. Doodlebug gems for the centres finished it off. I had fun with this - thanks for the challenge, Kim.

This is so fabulous. I still have your flower pot card you sent last year in my top drawer. I cant even imagine making one myself, but you really have a niche on this technique. This is just so pretty. Sabrina, I am so sorry I have not yet acknowledged your christmas card. I had all mine done by the end of November, but December was such a crazy month for me, I only had half of the envelopes addressed, and then never finished them. I hope by Monday, I'll have the cards I re ceived uploaded. I'm not usually this horrific with things like this, so please excuse my insensitive nature.
