I pulled out The Greetery's BotaniCuts Geranium dies and the Pretty Pot die and came up with a trio of terra cotta pots instead of circles. Take a look...
I started with a piece of Bitty Big DSP (PTI) to ground my pots on and then assembled the pots, geraniums, and leaves on top of the DSP. I did a bit of ink blending to the pots, blooms and leaves for a bit of definition. I don't have much of a green thumb, but I do manage to keep Hostas and Geraniums alive and love having pots of different colored Geraniums on the front porch each Summer! :0)
My sentiment came from Michele on one of our playdates, but I can't remember who makes it. I finished with a bit of glitter in the flower centers, a few clear gems and a couple little ladybugs (WF) for a bit of whimsy.
Mom is finally settling in at the retirement home and has even made a few new friends, which makes me so happy!! Now if we could just get everything lined up right for the sale of her house...too much to go into here, but it's always something, isn't it?!!
Check out all the fabulous cards from the DT over at Freshly Made Sketches and play along if you have time today...challenge ends at 3:00PM.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!!

Marcia, you do have a way with Geraniums - both real AND paper! LOve the deep red you've chosen today especially with the neutral checks! I'm so happy you had time to play with all you have going on right now - thanks so much for sharing that time with FMS!
[That sentiment is from SB Betterpress Yana's Bouquet of Hugs sentiments]

Your pots of geraniums look very realistic and are so pretty. Love the deep rich color and the cute lady bugs. Love the sentiment.
Red geraniums are my favorites, Marcia and I have pots of them on my front steps! We're both into ladybugs this week. I even had one on the window sill last night. Your ladybug looks like she's ready to take flight! Perfect sentiment too!
I LOVE your precious pots of geraniums! The muted base and white top really accent the beautiful, red flowers -- oh my, so awesome, Marcia.
