Hello everyone! I hope you've had a wonderful weekend! It certainly flew by here!!! I do have one card to show you however. I made this card with the Our Daily Bread designs March 1 release "The Lord has Risen". I chose to leave the front with just the image and put my sentiment inside. You will love the sentiments with these floral sets! Perfect for Easter, but also lots of other occasions! Please check them out!!!These violets bring back so many memories for me! My Grandmother had such beautiful violets... deep purples, blues and white violets! I used to just love to pick them and make little bouquets and put them in this dainty little vase she had. To this day I love violets and the happy memories!!!
I stamped these on Neenah cs and colored with Copics. I cut the image panel with the new Spellbinder's Label 13 and sponged lightly with olive ink. I cut the purple Bazzill SB Lattice Pentant, embossed it and mounted my image on that. That is mounted on a white layer cut with a Martha Stewart all around edge punch, and embossed with a wonderful embossing folder from Crafts Too. This layer is then mounted on a green designer paper from Lasting Impressions, and on a base of Bazzill. I kept the layout simple, only adding some stickles to the violets, and a bow I tied with two ribbons, and a pretty stick pin with elements received from sweet Sabrina! She does these like no other! Thanks Sabrina!

So pretty! I love violets too, my grandmother often kept a little pot of them in her kitchen window. Very happy memories indeed. Love the coloring on your flowers.
This is gorgeous Grace!! Love how you colored your violets and how you framed it with the Lattice die!! Very rich and beautiful!! Awesome layout!!

Hi Grace!! I just came across your blog. Your work is gorgeous! This card is stunning! Love everything about it.
I think my love of flowers stemmed (no pun intended) from my grandfather. He didn't grow violets like your grandmother, but a huge variety of perennials. I have many of them in my own perennial garden now.
Beautiful card!!
Another beauty!! Love it!
