My base is Concord Crush which I cut using the Sizzix Scallop Circle, the next layer is Lavender Lace cut with Spellbinders. Then a circle from Very Vanilla cut with Spellbinders. I stamped using Concord Crush and Lavender Lace. I made my flowers using tissue paper then I spritzed the whole thing with homemade glitter spray. I used rubbing alcohol and shimmer paint to make the spray. I made my bow on the Bow Easy and the lavender ribbon is Silk Ribbon from May's Art and so is the gingham ribbon. Both were purchased from No Time To Stamp. It took me a long time to get this together and it's simple. My Mojo was hiding again! I do like how it turned out but I'm not sure I should have put a pink flower on it. I should have kept the whole thing purple. Oh well live and learn! This is for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge. This will go to another SCS member having health issues.

Sylvia~ I think you still have a ton of mojo, and am so glad you are feeling better! Your card is amazing, and I love the flowers you made. (yes, even the pink one- it is sweet!) That lil *kiss* of gingham just sets it all off. Beautiful work my friend. Hugs....

Ooooh, so pretty! This jumped out of the gallery last night but I was just too tired to comment. It looks even better large than in the thumbnail I don't think that your mojo is hiding anywhere...all of the elements from your nestie to the image and colors to those gorgeous flowers to the bow...just took loving hands and a little extra time to get perfection, that's all. In case I've been too subtle here, I just love this card. TFS

No problem with your mojo whatsoever! I do know what you mean about seemingly things taking so long (some of my cards take too many hours to even admit to.) I enjoy the process so I don't mind! This is beautiful and I love the purple with the pop of pink - wouldn't change a thing on this!

Oh, Silly, how can you possibly think your mojo is missing with a card as pretty as this?? Love all that purple - CS, stamping, Flowers and RIBBON, but that pink flower looks nothing less than amazing -
purple + pink = perfect - Love it!!
