This year, the big CASE is the flower pot card. All you have to do is hop over to the SCS galleries and you will see many beautiful recreations! It’s the cutest card this year!! So, of course, I jumped on the bandwagon…being the trend follower I am. Not to mention the one and only Mother’s Day card I got this year was a flower pot card! Thank you, Mary Lou…you are a true friend! I love you!!

So, I decided to make my own mother a flower pot card. I got my instructions from Stephanie Luman’s blog who gives original props to Linda Heller and Missy Shipman. I believe Linda is the originator.

I used Parisian Breeze Specialty paper, Baja Breeze card stock, Soft Sky card stock, Whisper White card stock, retired Chocolate Chip wide ribbon and retired Close to Cocoa ribbon. I also used retired wire, pearl halves from the Pretties kit, and Robin’s Nest dew drops. I used the Cherry Blossom and Simple Flower embosslits and Birds and Blooms for the leaves. I used the Bigz die, Beautiful Butterflies for the butterfly.

Here is a close up of the butterfly. Hey, are you a subscriber to my blog? Do you know about the subscriber challenge I have going on?

Here’s the pullout for my card. I accidentally got the “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment to close so it is slightly covered. But it worked. There is Angel Wings Shimmerz on the butterfly.

How about some comments to brighten my day? Comments motivate me to bring you fabulous stuff!
