Here's my card for today's Inspiration Challenge - Geni is our guest hostess today and she chose a wallpaper web site for our inspiration - Total Wall Covering.
I die cut the watering can out of matboard and embossed it using Tree Branch Ink and Watering Can embossing powder. The flowers are die cut using PTI Button Dies. I tied twine thourh the button holes to give a little texture. I made the background using Zig watercolor brush pens - drawing over the area with the brush pens - then going over it with a waterbrush pen. I stenciled the leaves and grass and added the sentiment after the background was dry.
I'll be sending this card to my sister who is going through some difficult times right now.

Beautiful card, Julia! I love the BG you created for the watering can, with the addition of the stenciling! The sentiment is really lovely and I'm sure your sister will appreciate your thoughtfulness!
