Here is my project using the "Mother's Day" key from the Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge:

 The tulips,leaves and '#1 Mom' were made using the 'Mother's Day' key.  The "flower pot" was made using the same cartridge but is a 3-D object found on the "f" key.    I am participating in a spring craft fair on the 27th and am making several of these for that event.  I will have different "picks" for the customers to choose from, i.e. "Happy Birthday" "Thank You" "Grandma/mother".  The tulips were embossed with a cuddlebug embossing folder that I had inked with CTMH Blush ink to create the pattern.  I adhered a tulip to each side of the floral wire using CTMH Liquid Glass and, when dry, curled the petals.  The floral wire was twisted around the end of my piercing tool to create the center of the flower.  Sorry I didn't think of taking a photo of that part.  I cut scalloped circles using the Art Philosophy cartridge to back the "#1 Mom" sentiment.

This is a close-up showing how I adhered the leaves to the tulip.  Because the basket is small I did "crop" off the end curl on the leaves to make them "fit" the project.  One of the leaves is adhered to the front of the floral wire and the other to the front. 

I punched two holes in the bottom of the tulip with my crocodile to attach the ribbon.  

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  Please leave a comment.  I would love to know you were here!
