Mom rainboot with flowers

I have set a goal to use my stash of dies that has a layer of dust on them and have never been used. For this one I was encouraged by the photo inspiration for JUGS. I used Sizzix, Impression Obsession and Die Version. I dry embossed the white background with Cuttlebug folder. For the watercan I ink distressed it with distress ink of Old Paper and Tea Dye. I had fun using my scraps.

Cardstock: Bazzil; Recollection

Gardeners

Well I am not a gardener. My Dad was a potato farmer; however, I have no desire to have a garden, heck I can't even keep plants alive. The cat I have now I don't think would bother a plant, since she doesn't go after flower bouquets like my male cat did. She went and got a hair cut today so she had enough drama. I went out to get some groceries the other night and when I came home....my garage door wouldn't open. Today I had a repair person out and as my Dad predicted "my spring was out." Needless to say $600 later I can get my car in the garage and we missed garbage day. So obviously I did some coloring to try to help my stress and got this new image from Twistoon and a sentiment from TLC, Create.
