I've been playing with my new Flourishes set Lilacs, which actually has both lilacs and magnolias in it. For this card, I used the smaller lilac and colored each one according to a nursery site I found on the internet. Their names are:
Sarah Sands - pink
Wedgewood - blue
Yankee Doodle - purple
Avalance - white large lilac, bottom right
I couldn't resist adding the cute little grasshopper, which is first colored with markers and then I added some shimmer with a Sakura Stardust pen.

Awesome!
I live near Rochester, NY home of the Lilac Festival...everyone has lilacs in their yard... I have a double white, a light purple and my neighbor has a dark purple...they were all in bloom last week.
You would open the door and smell lilacs...when I look at your beautiful card I still can smell the lilacs!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful card!
