Mother's Garden

Monday, already? Where did the weekend go?  Sometimes time flies by too fast.  One fantastic thing about this weekend is I managed to get the perfect sized desk for my stamp room.  I love it.  Now I just need my punch racks and also put up the ribbon rack Chris made me and I can take lovely photos to share with you all. :)

Today I am SUPER excited to share this project with you today.  I spent a lot of time creating this beauty and although I love most everything I make, my heart was truly swelling with pride on this one. 

Using the owl rose technique that I learned from Valita's Fresh and Fun Folds I created nine flowers for my little flower garden.  I was looking to create a planter like you see hanging on railings of apartment building balconies.  Instead of creating the 'lip' to hang over the railing, I added handles on the ends.

Then I created 3 individual pot holders and added my flowers creating stems from cardstock.  I wanted the flowers to shimmer and shine so I spritzed Vanilla Smooch Spritz on them.

The dirt was created by shredding scrap bits of Chocolate Chip cardstock.  I wanted the focus to be on the flowers so the box I left very simple with just a nice Vanilla Hodgepodge frame and the title "Mothers's Garden"

I hope you like this project as much as I do.  This is my masterpiece :)

Is there a project you created that you are particularly fond of?  I would love to see your best creation.
