Sweet Stems in pots

Here is a nice spring themed card to make us all believe it really is coming. I originally saw a card similar to this at my uplines place but she used the Pocket Sillouhettes set and it makes a more sophisitcated looking card because of the style of the stamp. I don't have that set and I'm all for making it work with what you have and if you go on Splitcoast this style of card is all over so I just looked around and made it work.

I did this card at a few workshops that I've had recently and it went over really well. Not only is it quick and easy but it would work for a variety of occasions from mother's day to birthday to sympathy.

To make this card I used the Sweet Stems stamp set and stamped the flowers in basic black ink. Then I coloured in the flowers with Kiwi Kiss, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red and blender pens. The blue is sponged with Baja Breeze and I put a sticky note over the top portion of the card to make the line. The flower pots are probably my favourite part of this card, I used scrap 1in strips of Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive (again making it work with what I have) cardstock and my 1-1/4in circle punch. This makes a flat bottom and top to give the flower pot look. Then I clipped the corners with my ticket corner punch and mounted it on the Baja Breeze card.

Lastly the greeting is with the hostess set which I love, it has something for every occasion. I highly recommend it if you have a workshop.
