"a trip to the farmer's market"

supplies: 4x4 cardboard base; gecko galz parade of flowers paper pack; gecko galz farm fresh collage sheet; gecko galz garden time collage sheet; paper flower, enamel dot, distress inks.

instructions: starting with the 4x4 cardboard base (which i cut from stash cardboard) i covered the base with paper from the parade of flowers paper pack and distressed the edges.  i fussy cut  images from the gecko galz collage sheets and adhered them to the base.  i added the flower and dot to finish.
