I just bought two lilac shrubs called President Lincoln which are this color, I think I'll plant them by the office window so I can smell them too!
I used the Flourishes (www.flourishes.org) Lilac set colored with Copic markers. Flower and pearls ribbon was from Wal Mart, Rhinestone Ice square brads, Taken with Teal and Turquoise cardstocks, designer paper is Spring Brocade by The Paper Company Studio.

So pretty, Joanne. I love the color of your DP, and the blingy brads really look nice on it. I'm impatiently waiting for the arrival of my lilacs! And I'm jealous that you can have them in your yard. That's what I miss the most from my Pennsylvania roots. Crepe myrtle just doesn't cut it, but it's the closest look I can can here in Florida.

LOVE these rich colors -- just fabulous!!!! I used to have a lilac bush, but no more -- there is nothing more wonderful in the spring than the scent of lilacs, so now I resort to lilac candles -- LOL!!!
