FLOWER POT CARDS

I have been wanting to make some shaped slide out cards for a while.  I just got the "Everyday Pop-Up Card" cartridge.  There are some great shapes to work with  I haven't tried a full pop-up card yet.  I wanted to make this card and put a Lowes gift card in it for  my son's lacrosse's teams team mother.  However I got home so late from Arizona, that I gave her a card I had already made.  But I am going to give her this card for her to give to a women who she cares for.  They love gardening together.  I made this card a few times. Once I made the green flower using the main image.  In this version I used the "Shadow" function, the stem is much thicker.  I think next time I will cut the pot larger
