For my card I added: card stock, some diff. sized pearls, nesties and dimentionals.
Image was colored using Copics and SU markers.
Above: The finished inside of the card and below a close up of the completed image.
The gardening gloves and the pink seed packet were fussy cut ,then propped with dimentionals
on top of the nesties. A couple of garden related sentiments were used both in and out of the card.
As an extra step, Darlene asks us to add some gardening tips : well, I used to save all egg shells (both fresh or boiled), plus the coffee grounds and add them to the dirt...it makes for good compost. Also if/when you have leftover milk to discard use it for the geraniums...for as long as I can remember I was told it's really good for those kind of plants...♥
Happy Gardening Everyone and God's Bless!!

Oh Sweet P fantastic as usual! Love the layout with the two triangles of DP connected at the center with the strip of gems. Really love the shape of the die cut used to frame the image. The added sentiments inside and out are just perfect.
