I thought this stamp set would be perfect for a Flowerpot card. I started by making a flowerpot from Kraft cardstock using these instructions. I added a small strip of Purple Shimmer Trim to the pot and then set about creating the insert for the card.



I added a white mat to more Kraft cardstock and stamped one of the sentiments from Beloved Boquet at the bottom in Thistle ink.



I then stamped three flowers in Thistle ink (one that was second generation) and outlined them using Desert Sand ink. I also stamped the leaves on Fern cardstock with Topiary ink.


I fussy cut the flowers and leaves, then added them to the top of the card insert.



Then I slid the insert into the flowerpot, leaving the bottom leaves in the card but making sure the flowers overlapped the pot.



Now you have a fun interactive card to give to someone special.
