Today is the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!! The theme is FLOWERS. I used the Anniversary Set, so if you haven't received yours yet and don't want to see it, Don't open this post.
I was inspired to use orange after visiting The Spa at La Costa in San Diego. My brother treated my SIL, Mom, and myself to a girls day out. We had a wonderful time. Look at these gorgeous flowers.
I used the new Botanical Silhouettes set for my flowers and the new Garden Variety Die for my large flower pot. I did cut maybe a 1/4 of a inch off the bottom. Love the way it looks.
You can see I used the linen impression plate on the pot in the picture below.
Happy Hopping Everyone!
supplies used:
stamps: PTI Botanical Silhouettes, Fillable Frames #3
paper: PTI Stampers Select White; orange stripe is digi paper (can't remember)
ink: PTI Orange Zest, Spring Moss; Memento Rich Cocoa
other: PTI Garden Variety Die, linen impression plate, twine; pop dots
I had no idea the leftovers from that die would make such a great flower pot. What a fun idea!

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous card. You have captured La Costa perfectly. I almost screamed when I saw your card, because I was just at that spa 2 weeks ago for my birthday. I live just down the road from La Costa, and play tennis there every day. I wish I knew you were in town. We could have had a stamping session in the jacuzzi!!

Gorgeous, Rhonda! Yours is the first finished card I've seen using that die as a flower pot--I knew it would work great! That digi paper is perfect--it looks like it's embossed too! Hey, you were in my neck of the woods! I've never been to La Costa, I'm sure it was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love that you used the diecut as a flower pot. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, beautiful card! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous....yes I cut the die and found the so called waste piece fell upside down on my desk...hmm I saw a flower pot too! I think Papertrey designed it on purpose like that ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors in the card and love all the textures!! Very nice and thos flower stamps are really great!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Wendy
Wow, love your card. I can see the impression on the pot, nice detail. The flowers look great too. Beautiful . Can't go wrong with good old California poppys :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card Rhonda! The IP plate on the pot is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!!! I love how you used the "waste" from the die and made it a big flower pot. This is a beautiful card.
