I've made a card for the April challenge at the Hero Arts Blog. There are many ways to enter; one of them is to make a shaped card. I was cleaning out some of my files and came across this pattern for making a flower pot card.
supplies: rust and kraft cardstock, various BoBunny and doodllebug designs dp, Hero Arts flowers stamps and sentiment stamps, twine, buttons
The pot is hinged at the bottom; it has a separate rim, and it's held together with wrapped twine. There is an insert which pulls out with another sentiment inside. Here are a couple other photos to show you how it looks separated from the insert:
If you'd like the exact stamps I used, please visit my flickr photostream where I listed them all. Here is the downloadable template from Andrea Walford that I used for my flowerpot.
I'll also enter this into the Simon Says Stamp challenge: "April Showers Bring Spring Flowers", and also into A Blog Named Hero's "Play Favorites" challenge, as I love all of Hero Arts' flowers..
