This card is for 2 challenges!!
Tuesday's Teapot Challenge: flower or vegetable garden or dogs. This stamp set comes from SUink (Storage Units, Ink & More). I purchased a rather large ink holder and this set was in with the order. First time I try it, but I did case a card I viewed and can't find it now. I stamped & cut out the girl to use as a mask so I could place the fence behind her. I colored with blender pens and ink pads. The sky was sponged. Since the dp has scallop flowers, I chose to use the scallop punch for the sentiment. And I just so happened to have these 3 flower buttons to match everything! I couldn't resist adding these 2 ladybugs. In the spring they are all over the place.
Next, this card was also for the QFTD: Gabby or Gabalot. I cased your very first upload: Poppies Seed Packet Card ... my first upload! :) by gabalot at Splitcoaststampers I tried to keep the layout similar and added the ladybugs instead of the butterfly. Things I kept the same are the fence, seed packet and buttons. You have a beautiful gallery, Gabby, and I enjoyed scrolling through it! Congratulations and enjoy your royal reign this week! As always, thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

This is such a sweet image and I love the buttons, and the lady bugs! My question is...how do I get those lady bugs out of my bedroom. They have taken up residence there to shelter from the coming winter!

You certainly don't want a dog coming along and digging up that neatly-planted garden, for sure! What a perfect match between the paper and the buttons.
