Flower Pot Pocket Card

This week's Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge is to make a card that is any shape - except rectangle!!! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this challenge. When uploading to SCS, please use the keyword JBE051 so we can all check out your cards!


I had no clue what I was going to do for this challenge. Then a few days ago, I was surfing through my google reader and I found this card by Lynda and I immediately knew I wanted to try it out. Come to find out, this was a technique challenge over on SCS not too long ago. You can find wonderful instructions for it here. I used the Basic Grey Porcelain paper to cover my flower pot. The flowers took the longest, but I wanted them to be special and really pop. So, I took some Wildflower Primas and covered them with Hotty Pink Shimmerz Blingz and Golden Wheat Shimmerz. I used the Golden Wheat color all the time, but this was my first time using Hotty Pink. It is sooooooooo pretty!!!! The 2 flowers on the sides are glued directly to the rectangle card. While the 1 in the center, is raised with a dimensional. I added Basic Grey Porcelain buttons to the centers, then punched out some leaves and glued them on. I tied on some Vanilla grosgrain with a little organdy ribbon that I found in my stash. At the bottom of the pot, I punch out a little butterfly and added a little pearl to the center. Yes, it took me for-ev-er, but it was so worth it and I'm so pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for the inspiration Lynda!
