Wishful Thinking

Welcome to the weekend!  Mother Nature is being quite the tease....one day it feels like spring, the next we get a covering of snow.  It's definitely not time yet for gardening, but I am hoping for an early spring....


Would you believe, I actually have a little garden cart similar to this that my husband made?  Last year was a little too hectic so it didn't get planted, but hopefully this year....  This is one of the newer images from Just Inklined, called Gardeners Delight, perfect for someone who enjoys their garden.....if not the work!   I've given it a bit of vintage feel with the doily and the distress inks, and for the very first time....I've made a double bow!

Supplies used:
Papers from Basic Grey - Sweet Threads pad
Nestibilities Labels Eighteen Die
Corner Flourish Stamp from Stämpelkällan

And now for a few challenges:

    Beautiful card! If mother nature isn't going to give us summer, your card sure does! Love the image and the bow and stamped corners are really lovely.
