Flower Pot and Flowers

This project was a Art Contest winner in the Stampin Success magazine that demonstrators receive regularly. I thought that I would share this with my fans as it is not likely that this will ever be a class project.Not that I would love to do this but it does require alot of supplies and probably time too. Enjoy.
