I've been playing with TE's new sets, Garden Party Critters and Garden Party Blooms all week and I just had to make one more card for today's sketch. I repeatedly stamped the 3 little flowers in Certainly Celery ink and then added buttons for the blooms - love that look! I popped up the little butterfly and added some pearls for the body and then added the little sun to balance the images. All the paper and ribbon is from this months Garden Party Pantry Kit.
In celebration of Mother's Day, I just had to post this hilarious little video. I'll take anything that makes me feel better about driving around in a big blue minivan (aka the Blueberry, but calling it the Blueberry definitely takes the swagger out of that big ol' wagon)...
