Today I made a very CAS card for the CAS-ual Friday challenge that also fits nicely with Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop theme which is flowers. I thought I was so smart when I realized the little piece of cardstock that is left over when you cut a Garden Variety frame resembled a clay flower pot. I realize I am not as smart as I thought because there are several others who saw the same thing and made a card using this little left over piece. For my card I used Hawaiian Shore cardstock and some yellow polka dot paper, source unknown. The clay pot is cut from melon berry cardstock which looks absolutely identical to the color of a clay pot. I scored a few lines on the pot to make it look a bit more realistic and tied some rustic jute twine around it. CAS-ual Friday's challenge is to make a CAS card and add a little bling. You will notice there are some tiny little rhinestones on the Larger than Life Flower diecuts which are popped up with some dimensionals. I was so pleased I could make one card that fit two challenges. One of these days I will have an original idea, looks like it just not today!

Great card. Very clever on the clay pot - yours is the first I've seen, so you impressed at least me! ;-D I love the stems in different colors, and the bling is just the right touch. Beautifully done. ;-)
Pretty card! Like the way you have made your 'clay pot'. Pretty flowers added to it too.
