I created the collage on the kraft cs by using 5 of the sentiment stamps from this new set from Mark's Finest Papers using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then stamping the butterfly and the lilacs with white craft ink. I then embossed Corners Damask on two of the corners of that panel. The purple panel behind it is embossed with damask folder. The sentiment is stamped onto the white cs using Elegant Eggplant ink and cut/embossed with Spellbinders Oval. That is mounted onto the purple beaded oval die cut. I added the lilacs stamped with Lovely Lilac ink and then the jewel.

Very pretty Karen! I like how you used all the different sentiments. The purple and kraft are a lovely color combo. TFS
