With Mother's day just a few days away, I have a card to share done in shades of purple & lavender. The background was embossed with a SU! ef, and the papers were from a stack I've had for years. The cover is long gone, so I have no idea who the mfr. is, sorry. The main image was done with an old CB ef and I matted it with some eggplant card stock that was punched on one side with a SU! border punch. I added mini brads to the flower centers and a piece of SU! eggplant ribbon, made into a flat "bow" that doesn't require extra postage. The sentiment is by Verve.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
The Card Concept#9 - monochromatic purple
Tuesday Throwdown#194 - special lady
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - spring flowers
OWH midweek throwdown - April Showers bring May Flowers
Cards in Envy - May Flowers
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic day!
