LF Wishing You A Veggie Happy Day - Lawn Fawn

Made this card using mostly Lawn Fawn items. Used couple techniques: embossed background, Copic coloring & watercoloring. Popped up pieces with foam.

Made my card using types of veggies we actually have grown or are currently growing in our backyard garden (Carrots - we grew Fingerling Carrots last year, Lettuce - we are currently growing Buttercrunch & Oakleaf, Peppers - we are currently growing 2 different kinds of green Peppers and Tomatoes, I call Maters, - we are currently growing 4 different kinds of Maters).
