I had this old decorative flower pot that I thought of tossing, but it ended up making the move to our new home a few months ago. I altered it a little bit by spray painting the base with a light coat of cream spray paint (it was a mossy green before).
I then rolled lots of flowers out of paper from Echo Park called Life Is Good with the Rolled Flower Dies and glued them onto this 6 inch foam ball and added a few pearl pins into the center of several of the flowers. I then pushed the ball of flowers onto a stick that I had wrapped some green ribbon around and then finished it off with a bow and button. Here is a closer look at the flowers. Wouldn't this make a fab Mother's Day Present??
Alright!! Who is ready for a giveaway?!? I have three sets of Echo Park 6x6 papers to give away along with three spools of the new glimmer twine from The Twinery.
How to enter:
- Leave a comment below with a guess as to how many rolled flowers I have glued onto this topiary. I will randomly draw 3 winners from all comments. If you are randomly drawn and have correctly guessed how many flowers there are, I will send you an extra spool of the glimmer twine.
- Follow my blog via Google Friend Connect, Google Reader, Network Blogs, or via Feedburner and leave a comment letting me know that you are a follower via one of the above (sign up on the right toolbar).
- Like Scrapping Mommy on Facebook and leave a comment on my page and come back here and let me know that you did for another entry.
- Follow me via Pinterest and pin an image of my project above onto one of your boards and then leave a comment with a link to your pin for another entry.
- Share this post on Facebook, twitter, or on your blog and leave a comment below with a link below where you shared for another entry.

ETA: I am adding this to the Moxie Fab World Cards and Gifts Week : The Gift Challenge.
****WINNERS CHOSEN AND POSTED HERE****
There are a total of 217 flowers on this topiary. I used almost 14 sheets of 12x12 cardstock to make this project.
