The plant leaves and pot are dry embossed and color added with pastel chalks and sealed and shading done with blender pen. I filled in the plant background with the same color green as the leaves but very pale. Also the sky is chalked in blue using a handmade from c/s cloud template. Flower images and bricks are stamped. I masked off the wall to add the lavender flowers using a stamp positioner. Each brick is cut individually and placed on wood together to form the wall. Love that scrap rubber from SU sets to make it! To form the varied color in the brick I first colored the stamp sporadically with a tan marker then placed it in the gray ink pad and stamped. Small flowers were Versa Marked onto the dark pink top layer.
The actual layout of the flower pot on the wall I borrowed from a card in Nancy LittrellÂ’s gallery named Fun Filled Delight. The cards look nothing alike but I loved her brick wall effect. She has a lovely gallery.

With making your own stamps, this card is truely one of a kind. It takes me so long to do a simple card, I can't imagine doing one that complicated. You make it look worth the effort.
