Diane is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us some inspiration for spring--so much so that "spring" is our dessert option! The colors are Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam.
I am a little late to the Petite Pots party--about nine years, as it turns out! After I grabbed this adorable set from the Papertrey site a week or so ago (and I'm glad I did!), I discovered that it was the anniversary set for that company in 2015! I'm so glad they re-released it, because I had great fun making this card. As you can probably see, each little element is a separate stamp, so the stems, flowers and pots can be made in a variety of color combinations!
For my card, I used the three challenge colors, plus a generous group of allowed neutrals. That way I could give the pots and flowers some interest and a little depth. I did a little selective inking on one set of stems, and colored in the other two with a dark green colored pencil.
I wasn't sure what layout I was going to use as I stamped, stamped, stamped my flowers and pots. When it was time to mount it, the panel seemed too big for a standard A2 card, so this became a 5-1/2" square card. The center panel is 4" square, as are the two DS panels behind it.
A few Cloud 9 drops finished off my birthday card for a friend who is a gardener! Spring is right around the corner. Please join in the challenge this week and help welcome it in with some pretty spring images!

The little pots of flowers are so sweet - I like the way you layered the square papers - I have a million papers to use up so expect to see some in the gallery. Thanks for the idea x
