Gorgeous sponging and stamping. Love how you colored the petals and was still able to leave a lot of premium white space open. Had to favorite this gem.

Ann, this is really pretty! I love the band of purple smoke (that is what it looks like to me) across the center of the card. The Lilacs look really great stamped in the two different colors!

Welcome Ann! What a lovely card for Letter L. The lilacs are so beautiful on your beautiful sponging. Fabulous colors. Love the one layer card design. I really like the sentiment! That's one I haven't seen before. Great card. TFS

Love the lilac image! I saw several bushes of lilacs the other that were so vibrant I had to go sniff to make sure they were real. They were that exact color of purple and smelled wonderful.

Fantastic job. I love lilacs. This is a really neat idea to do this in two different colors. Thanks for the explanation. Your sentiment is perfect for your lovely lilacs. And welcome to the alphabet challenge!

I can smell those lilacs. Oh wait, that's my lilac candle that I smell. I love these flowers and can't wait for them to bloom in my area, but the snow has to leave us first!
