It's time for some Fred!!! I love Tracy's digis and have been wanting to play with this one for a while. This is the wood pre-colored wheelbarrow selection.
To design my card I used the Martha Stewart Flower Patch Punch Around the Page punch. I also used clear glossy accents on just the wheelbarrow and I really love how it looks on it. I used a touch of stickles on the flowers. The scalloped spellbinders die was used to cut the main image, and I used a sizzx decorative corner die for the corners on this card. Paper is from K & Company.
On the inside of this card I made a pocket that holds two Bigelow Tea Bags. There is nothing better than a hot cup of tea with lemon and honey when you don't feel well. If you care to see it, it is on my blog.
Thanks for stopping by today. I have been in a Fred She Said Frenzy and have more creations for this week...so stayed tuned!!!
For those commenting on how long it takes me to make my cards this one was about 4 hours because I had to wait for stickles and glossy accents to dry!!!

Whoa, are you ever a gifted artist w/those fabulous coloring skills. Your image takes center stage on this one and rightfully so. Placing it on the scalloped nestie really makes it pop like no tomorrow. Just a perfectly colored and presented card, carol.

What a gorgeous image and the patp is perfect for it. Great corners. I can tell a lot of work goes into your cards. They are just splendid when finished.

That's right Bearzi, from now on, you must total your punches and TIME calculations!! Then, and only then, will I be happy. Okay, so this would take me a minimum of 4 days, not 4 hours. I just don't know how you crank out these beauties, but let me tell you, this is GORGEOUS!! Every detail to perfection and LOVE your colors and wonderful image! I love wheelbarrows with flowers!! Great job!! TFS!!
