Here is my card for the reveal!
I made this beautiful, but easy 'flower pot' card!
You will need to cut a piece of card stock 3 1/2" x 9".
Score as shown at 2"and 5 1/2".
Fold along score lines as shown and using a border die or punch
cut decorative edge along pot front flap.
Flip the front flap (decorative edge) up and place in a paper trimmer
with 2" score line lined up with the cutting track
and the 5 1/2" fold line on the 1/2" mark on the trimmer.
Cut making the pot shape. You will need to do this for both sides.
If you want to make sure you have the cuts exactly lined up on both sides,
you can also trace the cut off piece onto the opposite side, then just cut along trace line.
You should now have a 'perfect' pot!
start rubbing it on your pot front only.
(I used my 'finger' tool...it washes off easily)!
Now you have a nice 'patina' on your pot!
Using Happy Flower set, stamp several times with Versamark,
emboss with Black Detail embossing powder,
and color in with Copics. Fussy cut the flowers out.
Add a back piece to your flower pot inside the pot (approx 3" x 3")
I added a white base, then embossed with a cloud embossing folder
on a blue card stock.
Arrange the flowers where you want them,
then carefully add Tear-ific Tape 1/2" across them to hold flowers in
and to adhere front of flower pot to them to close.
Using Brushable Glue, add Mauvelous glitter to the flowers and
Margarita glitter to the leaves.
I also stamped a butterfly from the Corner Garden stamp set,
and added Orchid glitter to it.
Once again using Versamark, stamp the sentiment and emboss with
Key Lime embossing powder.
Add your ribbon and tie on your sentiment with twine!
A couple different options is to have a 'pull out' piece from the
flower part and stamp a sentiment on it
(I opted to totally adhere mine down)
or
do as I did and stamp a message (sentiment) on the back.
Next on the hop is the very talented Eret...
