I am rolling along with my pledge to use up some more of my vast stock of flowers. I rummaged through my stamps looking for images that could be used to hold flowers. This Stampin' Up wagon called out to me and I have laden it with blooms just for fun!
I stamped the image in black Memento ink and coloured it with copics. I tried to chose a green for the wagon bed that would match the green Memory Box Debutante frame that I had on hand. I stamped and fussy cut the wagon, and perched it onto an embossed stars mats (from that recent scrapbook garage sale). Layered that onto the MB frame and then placed those layers onto a white weathered wood DP.
Filled the wagon with 6 kraft printed flowers and tucked in a few Martha Stewart branches. Thought it still looked a little bare so added a bow and a butterfly from some other coordinating embellishments.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
1. Pixies Crafty Workshop - must use snippets (the stamped image and the green Memory Box diecut were made from snippets)

Really lovely! Those flowers are gorgeous and look great in the cart.
I'm glad to hear you are recovering from the storms. Don't be too sad about those fallen trees, if they are in a place where they can remain fallen. There was a massive storm in the UK in 1987 and what we thought was a tragedy with so many fallen trees turned out to be a great boost for wildlife, as the fallen trunks provided great habitat for all kinds of plants, animals, birds and insects. So rather than destroying the ecosystem, the storm just changed it.

Lovely muted colours on this one Mo, lovely card, Kate x
Such a pretty card, a sweet image and lovely soft colours.
I'm glad to hear that the storms have abated, it's always sad to see the devastation that they cause.
Take care.

Lovely card Mo, The little wagon look great filled with the pretty flowers. I like the weathered wood background too.
Sad to read about all the trees that have blown down in your area, the storms sound horrendous.

This is a real gem, and way to use those flowers and ferns! Glad your power is restored and hope life returns to a sense of calm very soon!
Beautiful little wagon filled with all these lovely flowers and sprigs. Very clever way to use up your stash. The flowers added so much dimension to the stamped image, and love the addition of the MS twigs. Made a very pretty bouquet. Glad you're ok with the storms too. So scary. TFS & Hugs
I really like these flowers and their brown and kraft color scheme, I've got some similar ones... A great design idea for a card including flowers, where they've been made part of the main image rather than acting as embellishments.
A gorgeous card for the playground Mo! Good to hear you have not had any more power cuts or storm damage x
How wonderful this is Mo. Those flowers are lovely and the bow is fantastic. Love it...Hugs, joann
So gorgeous! Love the embossed background and the fabulous Kraft flowers! It's such a shame about the trees but I am glad the weather has improved. xxx
Great card Mo - and now I've seen all those little embellishments in real life too! I just blogged our trip.
