Mothers Day Card

This card was a huge hit.  I created it using the Fun Flower Die and assorted embossing folders and some double sided card stock. 
I created the flower pot by embossing with the Square lattice folder and mounted it to a piece of plain card stock to form a pocket.
Flowers were cut, and embossed using Polka dots, square lattice and Vintage Wallpaper folders.  and mounted to a piece of plain card stock cut to fit into the pot pocket.
Each flower was mounted using a dimensional square to give it some definition.  I pulled the petals upward to give further interest. 

My mom was SO pleased to get this card...
