Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges. We have a trio of stoneware pots! Love the designs on these.

EARTHEN TEXTURES

I pulled and my Earthen Textures to make a trio of pots for my card and did a little Blending Brush ink color on the front of this card to give some movement in the background.

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Copper Clay cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Very Vanilla was colored in the background with Copper Clay Ink using the Blender Brush.
- A 1 x 4-1/2 piece of Earthen Elegance was added to the bottom.
- The medium pot was stamped with Copper Clay Ink on Very Vanilla and hand-cut so I could get a border around the edge.
- The large pot, small pot and top were all cut with the smaller and larger pot and handle dies from Earthen Textures DSP.
- Some Natural Wavy Trim was wrapped around the larger pot three times and adhered in the back.
- All the pots were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting from Earthen Textures was stamped with Copper Clay Ink on a 1 x 2-1/4 piece of Very Vanilla and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
