Seeds of Today

Hello!  Quick Copic coloring for today's card.  One by one I'm catching up on my not-yet-colored Power Poppy digis.  This one is Seeds of Today.  Marcella initially created this digi set with graduation celebrations in mind, and it does come with the appropriate sentiment for that, but I'm seeing it in a different light today.  Whether we plant the seeds of pretty flowers, or those of bitter fruits, we all reap what we sow.




I finished with a scalloped valance and a yellow mat.  Just simple.  Minimal supplies are listed below.  Have a beautiful day!

Well Leslie, this card in not only beautiful but it also says volumes with that sentiment.
The image of that vine is so pretty in those colors and the pattern paper is just perfect as a background.
And it's so true what you said in your opening paragraph, you indeed reap what you sow.
Thank you for sharing.

How pretty, Leslie! And yes, I often see these types of images "outside the box", because they are so full of hope, and bring a heartfelt appreciation for every moment as we meet our challenges head on. IT'S A FANTASTIC CARD! Happy 4th to you and Rich! xx

As always, beautifully colored....even with all the details! And the die cut background works so well with that "wreath" of flowers.
