Greetings and Salutations! I am already anticipating my favorite season...FALL! I got out the Halloween stamps this week and started the old wheels turning towards new color schemes and new ideas. But, I have a few cards left to post for Summer time!
This card for today is all about Summer gardening... I am really in love with these Pure Innocence images lately. They are so fun to color and you can change the entire feel of the project just be using different papers and embellies. (you may remember I recently posted this image in pinks and greens)This card has made it's way all the way to the Netherlands to my sweet pen pal Holly! So now I can post it!
I have no idea where I got this cute little watering can embellie! It's been in my stash for a long time and I thought it was perfect for this card! For the bow, to add a little thickness, I put an extra snippet of ribbon under the knot. Can you see the little faces on the veggies? ACK!
The image was colored with my Copics in colors to match the patterned paper (which is from Cosmo Cricket). I could not find a sentiment that fit on the front in the circle so I handwrote one! I don't usually do that but I think it adds a nice personal touch. I used my Nestabilities for the cut out.
My Copic color pallette:
Here is the inside of the card:
The message is true...I wish you all a day filled with good things!
Like a box filled with cat!
Am I in trouble?

Your PI card is adorable!!! Love the Cosmo Cricket designer paper and watering can charm with this!
PS I used to have a cat that looked just like yours when I was in high school and he loved boxes and got into all kinds of trouble. :)

LOOOVE this card! Wonderful colors, sweet little image, and my favorite gingham, too! I had kind of discounted those smiling vegies from my CCpad, but seeing the way you've used them has inspired me to give them a try! Thanks so much!
