This card uses the solid leaves from Thoughts and Smiles along with a hook, bow (tie) and bowl from Let’s Catch Up! I turned what is supposed to be a fish bowl into a planter and hung it with the fish hook. I turned the bow tie upside down to make it look more like a ribbon bow. The sentiment is from Avocado Style Borders and Sentiments. I created a mask for the bowl and misted the centre to make it look like one of those painted ceramic pots so I’m going to link this up to Moxie Fab World’s Spatter Technique Challenge. If you love Thoughts and Smiles for its femininity and cuteness, you are going to love the June set for its masculinity and whimsy!

AMMMMMMMMMMAZING! I love the idea of a hanging vase! AMAZING!
Clever and gorgeous!
I love it Emily!
Thank You~
awesome design Emily…love it…so so clever..
Emily, you are so creative! I love how you "re-purpose" stamp images, even before they've been used the first time, if you know what i mean. The planter with the macrame/twine hanger is so cute.
The misted bowl does look just like a pottery planter! Terrific card!
So beautifully done! I love how that pot looks, like a real old clay pot!
i love how you splattered the pot! fantastic effect and love how you hung it.
AMAZING! This is brilliant! Love the creative and CAS design. Perfect for the spatter challenge (won't try to compete with that!)
