Benzi Stampz: Sympathy

Sympathy

This week the #38 Less is More challenge is polka dots. Well, I love polk dots and wanted to do their challenge. I am using the Stampin'Up! ornament punch trimmed at the bottom to make a flower pot. I added a Stampendous vine/sentiment, and did some scoring and the card is all finished. The vine was left uncolored so as to be more delicate. The burnt orange pot is what I chose because of the Fall season. Anyway, my card was very quick to make and may be the quickest I've ever made.

Edited: Sentiment was looking blue so I tweaked the photo until it looked like the brown it is
