(Sorry for the bad scan, but it's late and I'm tired. The colours are not quite so bright, I promise!!)
This was for Beate's WSC #51 and also LSC171.
I took the easy option and went for gardening, not doughnuts or yo-yos. Well, I needed a Fathers Day card, and at 88 my FIL is still gardening away...
I stamped Blooms and Bulbs for the top border, and coloured it with Twinkling H2Os. The bottom border is a strip of KI Pop Culture Daisy Doodle, which I coloured using the same colours as for the top. The sentiment was computer generated and printed on green pastel paper. The main paper is handmade tissue paper with little leaves and flowers in it. The main image is from Blooming with Love, again coloured with H2Os. I sponged the edges and mounted it up on two layers of green pastel paper. I did stamp the watering can from the set, but it didn't look as good as this little metal one, so that one won out at the end of the day. The little buds on the spray at the right-hand side of the main image were done with White Opal Liquid Pearls, and I also used it for little rows of dots along the edges of the sentiment, and a line above the bottom strip of DP

This is a lovely card - you must have spent an age on the colouring. I love the combination of the cute little seedpacks at the top and the big bold blooms at the bottom.
