Yesterday Melanie Muenchinger posted on her blog a blog hop using her stamp set A Year of Flowers. This is my all time favorite flower set and also my favorite set from Melanie. For those of you who don't know Melanie is a illustrator/designer team member for Gina K Designs.
I have been seeing these flower pot cards on SCS for awhile and my first thought was to make a card using a year of flowers, but I never got around to it, so when Melanie started this hop I knew this is what I wanted to do. I started by stamping the rose first then masking and adding flowers until I felt I had enough then continuing to mask I added the leaves. Next I colored them with copics (colors below). After cutting them out I decided it needed to have a small white border. The flowers are attached to a insert. The flower pot is always artichoke and the sentiment is from Asela Hopkin's set Friendship's Garden also from Gina K Designs. The ribbon is certainly celery from Stampin' Up.
I found the instructions for the flower pot here.
Thank you for stopping by.
copics: R22, R32, Y15, Y17, YR04, YR07, G99, YG03,YG06, YG95, BV08, BV11, BV17, E37
