F4A327~ You're Sweet ~

This week's Free 4 All Friday Challenge at SCS (Splitcoaststampers) is to make a card that reflects what you like to do, or wish you could do, in your free time.  Unfortunately, like many others, I have zero free time.  I keep telling myself that if I budgeted my time better...  but with job demands, life demands...  we've all been there, right?  

So for me, I would love to have time to have a real flower garden.  Specifically, I would like a heritage garden full of hollyhocks, sweet peas and roses...  lavender...  you get the idea!  I love the idea of having a beautiful garden like something my great grandmother would have had!

So for today's challenge I colored a couple of rose images from Our Daily Bread Designs' Tea Time stamp set and went to work.
