What a great challenge for all this winter snow....to make flowers for Sherry. Come and join us for this tea party. What a great way to cheer ourselves and another friend with pretty flowers. It gives me a good reason to bring out my watering can of color...:0)
I colored it with some water markers and some normal markers too. Printed the sentiment just off computer, sponged a touch on the edge of the watering can to soften it a bit, and added the faux stitching., a fun journey that was....lol....not...lol. Had to add some of my canadian blingage...so shinied up theol can with some silver glitter glue and the 2 butterflies as well....yah...:0)...DId feel like dessert...lol.
still trying to use more then one dp at a time..have troubles with that one.
After seeing this wonderful colorful gallery I KNOW it will sure brighten Sherry's day up...thanks for visiting...:0)

that tin watering can is amazing...I almost had to run out to the back porch to make sure mine is still there....I've always love bouquets in them but need to find some without sentimental strings so if the bottom rusts out it won't matter. can't do that with granny's. I love your coloring on this...such a sweet country hello card....she will love it

What beautiful soft colouring of that lovely image. I love the glitter on the watering can.
Sketches are what help me mix and match with papers ;-), left to my own devices I don't find it easy.

Ah...Canadian blingage, it spoke to me right way Lil Sistah! Wow, when I see this image, I see the threat of coloring, lots of coloring, and ya know I can't go there! Lol. But I do appreciate good coloring, and love how you have brought this water can to life. Beautiful! Lymi
