This is a replacement for Susie's wonderful card that died from a glue overdose. Her card was so pretty and took a lot of time, so I made an extra card because she deserves a tickle card for her efforts. Like my other MMTPT card, I stayed away from cooking for fear of unleashing food poisioning on the innocent people at the farmers' market. This is another craft project for the fair. I love this week's colors and liked making this card. The F4A called for brads, but not round ones. I always forget to use brads. If I made 6 cards a day and put brads on all of them, I could never use up my stash. This was the other half of the dylusion sprey paper I made for yesterday's card. Instead of splashing water on the bg, I dripped water with a teaspoon while holding the card vertical to get light drips down the paper. The flowers are colored with copics and fussy cut. The leaves are just circles cut in half. My non round brads are the flowers brads all over the card. I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. TFL, Francie

Oh my goodness this is fabulous Francie. This is 'weirdo arty stuff I love' at its best my friend. Everytime I look at it I see something I missed. I love the bright, bold colours and how you dribbled the water is amazing. Thank you Miss Francie!!!
