AND from my very sweet friend Pam124 - she knew I could make this card even though I didn't LOL!! Here's one of her awesome beauties: {Flower Pot MotherÂ’s Day}
This is also for this month's DD Fan Club theme - Oh So Shapely!!
And last BUT NOT least - this card is for Friday's Queen for the Day - Markie's Mom aka Faith. We all know Faith's amazing gallery, her fabulous Copic creations, so I was thrilled and a little frightened at the same time. Thrilled to CASE one of her beauties but afraid I would not come close to recreating her beauties. Faith - I LOVE your gallery - and I thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I think it's awesome that this card is for Mother's day, especially since it was Faith's Mom who first came up with the idea for this stamp set.
Changes were with card style, colors, ribbon, sentiment. This is a Flower Pot card - the first I've ever made - and it took me only two tries!! The pansies were stamped twice, colored with Copic markers, stickled, layered, and popped over lots of punched leaves. The polkadot paper is SU DSP stamped with Damask in Daffodil Delight. The inside sentiment is from Rubbernecker stamps.
Thanks for all the great challenges!
Thank you everyone for taking a peek!
Happy Day before Mother's Day!
Hugs,
Audrey

Audzi, you makin' zee younger twinzi look bad again! Your flower pot card is GLORIOUS! Can you hear me singin' from my house? You're So Pretty, Oh So Pretty, You're As Pretty As Pretty Can Be... OMG, did I just really date myself??? You absolutely nailed this card. I don't think there's too many leaves at all and those pansies - OUTSTANDING!! I love how you combined 4 stamp sets and 4 challenges with one card. You're really makin' up for being MIA lately. I'm so proud of you for making one of these. Once you get it, it's so simple - of course, when I went to make another one on my own I forgot and had to get DH to show me the way again - DRATS!! Yes, the angle is the hardest part and they don't show you on any of the tutorials exactly how to do it. That's what kicked my . . .! As usual, a stunning beauty.

Wow Audriz these pansies are over the top gorgeous with the different shades of yellow a gold. I love it with black and white. I have not tried one of these cards yet either! You did a spectacular job bringing this card technique to life. Gorgeous.

You have so much going on here - this card is just perfection! Love the medallion stamp on the pot, your coloring on the pansies, and the addition of the ladybug.
