I love making flower pots out of punches for my cards.  Here is one made from oval punches.

Let’s get right to tutorial today because the sunshine is calling me outside.  🙂

Punched a small oval out of a piece of Bravo Burgundy card stock.

Using the large oval punch, lined up part of the small oval punched hole in the center and punch.

This is what you end up with.  🙂

Punched a 1 3/4″ circle out of the sticky part of a post it note and used it as a mask for the moon.  Masked the moon on a 2 7/8″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.

Brayered Going Gray ink from the right side to the left.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink from the right side to the left without covering all of the Going Gray ink.

Removed mask and stamped the plant using Old Olive ink.

Cut a 1″ x 2 7/8″ piece of designer paper and adhered it to the bottom of the main image panel.

Sponged Close to Coco ink on the right and bottom of the oval punch.

Sponged Basic Brown ink on the right and bottom of the oval not covering the Close to Coco ink entirely.

Added a shadow on the leaves using an Always Artichoke marker.

Added a few highlights on the leaves using a White Gel Pen.

Using my Big Shot machine, cut a Top note Die out of Not Quite Navy card stock.

Cut a 3″ square piece of Bravo Burgundy card stock panel and used the corner round punch on the panel and main image panel.

Assembled the card adding Going Gray, Bravo Burgundy and Not Quite Navy panels.  Also added two silver brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″

Now I am off to my second office, which is our deck, where I take my laptop to return e-mails.  🙂

I hope you are able to enjoy some sunshine where ever you are today.

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . .  . . .
