This card is for three challenges: DTGD17Edna15B, DTGD17TJoy, WT647.
For the longest time, I have wanted a garden trellis on which I would hang garden boots filled with garden soil and flowers. I would place the trellis in my back-yard garden. Unfortunately, I have yet to achieve that dream, but maybe one day.
My card brings me joy as in my mind it is a replica of my dream. I see behind the trellis my garden with the bright Florida sun and beautiful sky. I see my garden flowers behind the trellis which are difficult for you to see, but they are there. I created them by stamping in black ink floral images from an old Stampin' Up! Stamp Set, the Garden Silhouettes. My boots (shoes) represent those I envision hanging on my trellis with beautiful flowers growing out of the top of the boots.
After stamping and coloring my flowers, I fussy cut them, as well as the boots. I hope one day to bring my dream to fruition!
Thank you in advance for viewing and commenting!!

What a lovely dream! I think the boots hanging on the trellis would make me smile - especially in the bright, pretty colors that you have chosen! Thanks for playing in my challenge!

Love the flowers in the rain boots. I want to get a great fun pair of rain boots. It has been many years since I had a great pair of rain boots and I miss the pair I had, they had pull tabs at the top like firemen boots. They were so comfortable. Great card for the shoe challenge. Thank you for playing along in the Shoe challenge.

Beautiful, colorful card with your dream garden trellis. The boots look so pretty filled with their flower bouquets. Love the bg behind the trellis too.
