I used one of Jan's brand new to the shop stamps called Pansies for Mom. Beautiful pansies (and my very favorite flower too)! I used a pre-colored image because they're always SO pretty. I also used a couple of pieces of some lavender paper, ribbon, and clear gems. The green piece of patterned paper behind the image is really, really, really looking washed out! UGH! What can I say. In real life though it's actually pretty. Um......Ribbon is looking a little saggy too. What can I say! Use your imagination!!!
Stop by the challenge blog and enter your card or project. You will have plenty of time as the challenge won't end until the end of the month.
Thanks for stopping by...........

A lovely card Lynn - don't you just hate it when the camera lies! Loving that image and how you have used it, and the background looks great with the green and lavender.

Oh Lynn, you are way toooooo harsh on yourself. The ribbon and green paper add so much softness and charm to the jug of flowers. It is good they are quiet because the fowers get to stand out. The image is just so pretty. Honestly, this card is awesome.

I just LOVE the dreamy colors on this beautiful card! WOW! The flowers are gorgeous and your design is fantastic to showcase it! Well done and it did cheer me, so thanks :) I can use a little (or a lot) of cheer these days LOL
ReplyDeleteTo cheer indeed - this is so elegant and beautifully colored! What a perfect balance of card design and yet your image just POPS! Superb!
ReplyDeleteI think the pastel green paper and the sheer bow are wonderful, Lynn! Don't be too hard on yourself, my friend. :-D The clear gems are a fabulous embellishment. They look just like little droplets of water left after an April shower. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cheery indeed, Lynn! Love those pansies and the layout you've used!
ReplyDeleteFun layout and love the beautiful image Lynn.

Gorgeous, love the pansies. I hate it when the photo looks not alot like the real life image - that happens in my selfies too:-) Lol Emmax
ReplyDeleteYour saggy, washed out card looks pretty good to me. I really like the lavender and purple panels. Pansies are so hardy and I love the varigated colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch and I love the panels and gorgeous flowers! This is stunning!!! Love it. Hugz
