Gardening Time.

Thoughts are turning to spring now with the Official First Day of Spring being next Monday, so with that in mind I have made the following card. 

The digi image is JJ Gardening by Bugaboo that I printed out three times,  coloured using my Promarkers then fussy cut out two of them and decoupaged  up parts of the  image. I mounted onto a piece of strong cardstock, distressed around the edges and then added colour with a dauber.  I don't own any pink wellies but I'm working on it!  The background paper is from Craft Consortium 'Ink Drops - Earth.  Sentiment from my stash.

Hello Valery, what a fabulous card, I just love that image, she's wonderful, super colouring too.
I don't own any wellies let alone pink ones, every year I tell myself I'll get a pair then forget, take care, Kate x

Your gardening lady is brilliant! Pink wellies, now that is something to work towards. If only real life ones would come by as easily as this lady's
