Inspiration card for Get Inky Challenges

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's out there.  We are having a Mother's Day/Flower Challenge this week at Get Ink. 

 This is my inspiration for the challenge.  


I chose to make a flower pot full of flowers for my card this week.  I made quite a few flowers and then piled them on after I had added my die cuts and leaves.   I made lots of flowers out of my scrape paper in my stash and edged them with Distress Inks.  I was not worried about how many I made because it is nice to have a supply of flowers already made up when you are working on different paper projects. 

 I added a sentiment from the Cupcake Photo Polymer stamp set to complete my card.  This set of stamps is just full of sentiments to be used with or without the cupcake stamp. I think it is such a great value.  Check out them out at Blue Moon Creations Crafting Station.   

 Supplies that I used to make my flower pot are

 Spellbinders Flower Pot Die
Maryinne Designs die
Doily die cut with a Cricut
Pearls from my stash
Paper and Ribbon from my stash 
Leaves die cut by Sizzex
Martha Stewart  Flower Punch
Sentiment by Get Inky

          This is really beautiful... but as Mary Lou said this does not qualify for our EBW challenge due to no Elisabeth Bell image being used! Thanks for taking the time to share your lovely creation anyway. HUgsxx
