Grow that Way


A quick little card to share today. This sentiment from JustRite's Garden Fairy Seeds set really touches my heart -- so true! I stamped it onto one of Pink Paislee's Sweetness patterns, framed it with a Tattered Angels chipboard frame, then surrounded it with more lovely Sweetness patterns, a Victorian Lace diecut border, and Martha Stewart Quilted punch borders. I gave the card a shabby look with distress ink, acrylic paint, and a distressing tool.

Have a beautiful day!
