Flourishes Farm Fresh Challenge

Today's card is for this month's Flourishes Farm Fresh Challenge! I combined two of the Flourishes sets, the "Seeds of Friendship" with the "Strawberries" for this card. The paper is from SU's designer papers in pure poppy and Papertrey Ink's white, and the pretty ceramic button was purchased awhile ago from an Etsy store online from "Tessa Ann."
I took this photograph outside, and as soon as the camera clicked, a bit of breeze blew my card off the upperstory deck railing into our lilac bushes. It rained last night. I was able to retrieve it with the help of a mop handle and hope it dries. Have you ever had one of those weeks?? I love this card and will be mailing it off soon, anyway!!
Edited: After an hour, the card looks fine, the waterspots have dried flat and you wouldn't even know it had gotten wet! I am relieved!

    This is an amazingly beautiful card, Traci! So very fresh and sweet and, oh, my goodness, how about that perfect button!! I'm so glad to hear your card survived the fall. That would have been a sad disaster, indeed, to lose such a lovely treasure. Someone will be very happy to receive this!

    Well....aren't you just doing delicious looking projects!!! This is so sweet, Traci. Love the vivid colors, and since DH was raised on a strawberry farm...I'm partial to them. Sweet card. Thanks for all your sweet comments lately. I've been sluggish in popping around as I should...but plan on being here more often. Following on FB makes me feel like I'm keeping up with you...and I have been praying!!!

    Your colouring once again is perfect. Love the bright red strawberries, i can almost taste them! And how cute is that button. I've had to rescue a few flyaway cards too - I'm glad this beauty didn't suffer any damage.
