Water can flowers

Purple, blue and white are the colors for this weeks challenge at The Play Date Cafe
and I thought this little watering can full of happy flowers fit the challenge perfectly
I found a vintage shop in Castle Rock yesterday called the Vintage Rose; the woman at the shop had hundreds of buttons in beautiful tins. We sat and chatted for some time and I selected a bunch of buttons, isn't the one on this card pretty? I love these old buttons, they have such character.
Items used: Stampendous thinking bouquet stamps, twine, button, gem flowers, watercolor pencils, DP and diamond glaze.
