Buying this
Elizabeth Craft Flower Pot Stand Die Set was a big splurge. I thought it would be a quick card...NOT! Now that I have made "one", I'm sure the next one will go more smoothly. (
Karen's video made it look so easy...haha)
It's the first day of Fall, so mums and pansies popped into my head. This is my attempt at a pansy facsimile. I left the flowers flat knowing it would be mailed. I made a boo boo in cutting the base, so as not to waste the cardstock, I placed 2 pansies on the base behind the flower pot. Do you think I got away with the boo boo?
Hummm...wonder if there are any challenges out there to join?

| A7, left off the center dot...oops...added after pic |

| Ready for the unvailing? Opening.... |

Ta Da...I also added a dragonfly along with the two butterflies
Liquid Pearls were added to flower centers and butterfly bodies, along with wire for butterfly antennas |

| Flowers on base covering my two boo boos. The die requires the flower pot to be closer to the front of the card...not the center, so if nothing else, I think the 2 pansies balanced out the base. |
WOW, Cely! Now I understand why this wasn't a quick and easy card. It's magnificent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card. You did a great job and I see no "boo boo".

I can tell from the photos that is was a lot of work to put together, but well worth it. It's gorgeous. Just got back from Panama City Beach and playing catch up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Cely! I also wondered why it took so long to make! Lol:) I think the flowers on the base are a perfect addition!

No way would I attempt this.. But so glad you did so I can enjoy seeing this work of art. Wow.. I don't see any mistakes. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI think they balanced it out, but also added a little extra. Maybe those flowers got pinched and fell off onto the card base.
ReplyDeleteThe recipient will sure get a surprise when he/she opens it up! Really pretty! I doubt you made four of those! :)
