I took a different approach to the colors for today. Neutrals were mainly used and the chosen colors were used on the flowers. The DP was created with a cover-all stamp in neutral tones. The handles of the tools were painted then coated with clear EP. Added tiny twine to the handles as well.

Such a gorgeous creation for a gardener! I love the pretty background you created and the "pop" of red and orchid flowers. The trowel and hand rake look fantastic. Your greeting is lovely, as well. I've been making a lot of use of my garden tools over the last few weeks! Love this time of year : )

Your take on this week's colors is phenomenal! I love the created background paper, it brings the perfect touch to your realistic tools and flowers! The added twine to the tools is a great idea too! TFS

Oh my goodness, Sallie, this is just stunning. I love your gardening tools, and your distressing around the edge of your dp is a perfect touch. An the dimension you achieved on your tools is wonderful. Terrific birthday card.

Gorgeous! Love how you created your own DSP for the Color Challenge dessert option. The gardener's tools and the flowers are outstanding. The bit of twine on the handles is brilliant. Love the distressed edges, too. Everything goes together so nicely and supports your lovely sentiment - Grow in grace. Beautiful.
