My card took a bit of a different direction after I started. I fully intended to use pinks and purples with a ladybug, but the striped watering can from Papertrey Ink's "Green Thumb" set caught my eye (reminded me of the pattern along the bottom of the coat). Made the polka dotted background using one of the "flowers" from Green Thumb and Guide Lines 1 grid paper, also from PTI. I used a healthy dose of Hibiscus Burst and New Leaf cardstock, and lots of brightly-colored inks, which seemed to lighten my "winter blue" mood. Maybe a quick trip to CVS tomorrow to get me some Vitamin D is in order!
