Oh I just love gladiolus!! My Grandpa was a wonderful gardener, both veggies and flowers. He always had the most beautiful glads and peony's. In fact, his peonies were the prize of the neighborhood! I stamped and colored my image before matting on my border punches mat of Fresh Freesia. I popped that up over my smaller DP piece & ribbon and attached both to my large DP mat. Last I added some Fresh Freesia bling in the upper left corner on the small mat piece. TFL!!

Wow, I love all the purple! Beautiful flowers and sketch. Love that you have special memories of your Grandfather that add to the beauty of this. One day I am going to have some prized flowers. Hugz

Beautiful design and layout. I have to say that in the garden I would prefer peonies any day (except that they harbour earwigs,), but this is gorgeous. I love the extra little curling ferny foliage in the image, and your decorative border.
