I made this card for TLC215 - to make a Flower Pot Pocket Card. You can see a quick tutorial on how to create this flower pot over on Stephanie Luman's blog.
So, I went to Walmart the other day and walked by the flowers, and they had a BUNCH of my favorite flowers there...Tulips!! I decided to let the kids pick out which color to get, and was shocked when they both agreed on some that look just like the tulips in this card. Which is, of course where I got my inspiration.
The tulip images are from Kitchen Sink Stamp's Multi Step Tulip Garden set. I stamped the 5 flowers with so saffron, apricot appeal, cameo coral and regal rose...I know...the colors do not sound like they would go together, but that is what I finally came up with to match the beautiful tulips that are in my kitchen right now. For the greenery, I stamped them with kiwi kiss, old olive and always artichoke. I then cut the flowers out along with their greenery, and then I 
added even more stamped leaves to fill up my pot. I then finished the inside of the card by sponging the edges of the white layer with kiwi kiss and added a bit of kiwi kiss ribbon to the bottom of my stems.

I scalloped the edges with SU's eyelet edge scallop punch. and added the so saffron ribbon and bow. To finish off the card I added the sentiment to the base of the pot!
