Lisa's Ways to Use It Challenge is Patterned Paper. She would like us to join her and use some of our PP stash. This week's May Flowers Teapot Challenge is cards for Eleanor's 90th Birthday! My card is for both challenges. Hope you'll join in on the challenges and in sending cards to Eleanor.
Lilacs are one of my favorite May flowers! I colored the stamp with markers and stamped. Added some shading with chalk, restamped the flowers with DO ink and fussy cut. I die cut a border on the purple trellis PP and the violet CS and layered on a cream card base. Stamped and embossed the sentim.nt on an oval die cut, die cut the floral frame and adhered to panels. Popped the lilacs up with dimensionals and added pearls to finish. TFL

I love lilacs, too Carla! I really like the way you used your dp making it the top half of the card and the greenery surrounding the greeting is so pretty. She'll love getting this to celebrate her big day.

Carla these flowers are spectacular and I love the color combination on your card too. Great card for Eleanor and great DPs too. Thank you so much for playing along and sharing some of your hoarded DPs and the stunning sample for the challenge.
