Mother's Day 2012 Flower Card

Created this Mother's Day Flower
Card using 2 different Cricut cartridges:
From My Kitchen for the teapot & Walk
in My Garden for the flowers.

Got the idea from photo inspiration at
Catch the Bug Time For a Photo Insp
Challenge.

Did some faux stitching. Used  a 
technique I found on Internet to use a
pencil first to draw the lines using an 
index card for straightness & then go 
over the lines with ink pen.

Cut the top of the teapot off to set to
the side of the teapot. Used Tim Holtz 
sander & Distress Ink on the teapot.

Cut the leaves off of the flowers. Felt 
like a Florist arranging the flowers.

Stamped 'World's Best Mother', cut 
it out, attached to a toothpick and 
inserted it amongst the flowers.

Used a studio g clear stamp for 
the ribbon award. Used a BasicGrey 
clear stamp for the Mother 
sentiment in the ribbon center.

Used Chalk-ah-lot Cafe Sky Blue 
chalk mixed with Glossy Accents and
a paint brush like that of a Stipple 
Brush to paint the ribbon award.

Added some gems for bling. Added
ribbon. Attached the ribbon award.
