I started this yesterday for the TLC to make plaid on a solid stamp. I thought of this very old watering can set. I forgot how big it really is. By the time I had the flowers and watering can, It was almost to big to send as a card. I decided to add a Layers of Color butterfly. I colored it to look like a butterfly that I saw on Sunday when I was out taking butterfly-flower photos at the park. I added Psalm 100 at the bottom. I plan to hang this by my computer to help me memorize the verses. When I have them memorized, it will be time for me to pass it on to someone else. This also fits Mothermark's teaparty. I brought the blooms. If we run out of tea, I can always wash out this watering can and we can make some more! It has been awhile since I brought any food to the teaparty. Well, today because it is going to be hot... I thought I would bring homemade icecream. I just need to know what flavors everyone likes. I am starting with vanilla with chunks of peaches.

Yum! I will certainly have some ice cream.
BUt I agree, the lovely plaid watering can is just made for flowers. And what a lovely way to display and memorize scripture.

Well since you asked - I'd love strawberries with the vanilla - but I'd love the peach too. Your plaid watering can is totally awesome as are those flowers!!

Love the plaid watering can. It is perfect for this challenge. It will hold lots of tea too. I love the butterfly. Are you sure you didn't catch one to put on the card? TFS
