I must say, this was a way cool challenge today. Thanks Joan and Susan. Always fun to try something new.....my card.....
I took a solid flower pot stamp, inked it up then kissed it with an ebf that had leaves on it, sprinkled this with clear ep and heated up.
Liked the eb folder I used, so I just eb the whole panel. Using a q-tip, I versamarked all the raised parts then colored with chalk pastels. Masked the bottom and sponged on some "dirt".
Since my pot needed some flowers, I took this Hero Arts image that was flowers in a frame. Colored the flowers with re-inkers then cut out. Cut out the frame too sponging on sail boat blue.
Punched the corners and added some twine. Then put my panel on a blue AC card. Popped up the flowers and put on the frame. Done.
Well, hope you like my take on today's challenge.....TFL :0)

How creative with the frame, and with the idea of heat embossing your *kissing*. That looks cool!! And what a pretty embossing folder too, I'm glad we get to see all of it and not just what's on the pot.
