Home Grown

Garden FreshVenCloseUp 
It is time for a Friday Focus over at Flourishes.  This week it is a Free For All which I love.  I have been wanting to match up the Garden Fresh set with Seeds of Friendship. 

 
 
The paper I used on this card is from the Venice 123 Create Kit from Flourishes.  I love these kits.  The brads on the side are also included in this kit.  I stamped my image on watercolor paper and did lots of masking.  Then I colored with markers.  The ribbon and lace are both available at Flourishes.  
 
Check out what the rest of the team has created just for you:
