We have another challenge beginning today at Seize the Birthday and would love for you to come along and play. We need to see your feminine cards this time - and of course, it needs to be for a birthday. We also have a brand new sketch for you to work with. We're being sponsored by Paper Sweeties this week! Be sure and check out the blog for all the details and see the inspiration from the DT.
Purple!!! Yikes, I never use this color on a card and don't know what possessed me to do it now other than the fact that when I think of purple, I think pansies! The stamp is from Hero Arts and I colored it with Copics and Prisma pencils. The sentiment is from SU - as is the background DP. I also added a tiny white butterfly.
Pansy season around here is actually over with - getting too hot now - but I still have a couple of pots of them struggling along. It won't be too much longer though and I'll have to replace them with something else.
I'll enter this in the challenge at Simon Says Stamp (birthday!)
Thanks for stopping by...........and be sure and check out Seize the Birthday this week.

Beautiful card,love the image and fab details.xxx
Well, you know I love the purple but aside from that, I love your interpretation of the sketch. Fabulous coloring on the image, Lynn, and that bow is incredible! Gorgeous background paper, too. I guess I just love it all. :-D
Fabulous birthday card. Love the patterned paper paired with the Swiss dots and that bow is to die for!
Wow, this is beautiful Lynn! I love purple and white together. Your coloring of those gorgeous pansies is superb!
Beautiful card! I love the rich purple you used and the shading of the pansies is perfect!
LOL! Had to laugh at your comment about using purple. It isn't a color I use often, either. However, this is a lovely card, and I think purple was precisely the color for it. Even though Pansy flowers come in various colors, none stand out quite like the purple. Excellent choice. Beautiful card.
Beautiful card Lynn, I like the flowers the embossing and the colours.

It is never too hot here for pansies. I've never heard of such a thing. That's just crazy! And sad, because they are my favourite garden flower :)

Hi Lynn. I've not managed to stop by lately and I've missed your gorgeous creations. I find blue so hard to use, but this is FAB. X
Your purple looks great. I'm with the pansy purple too. This is a great spring image, and you colored it beautifully. Loved the layout, the S/B choices and your dotted EF in the background. Really pretty & well designed card. TFS & Happy Sunday.
