Good morning, sweet friends! It's cold around the country, so here's a "taste" of spring for you. It's the newest Power Poppy digital image called French Lilac, and isn't it such a lovely image? It was fun to color, and I used Labels 28 for the focal image and Devine Eloquence atop Lavender Lace card stock for a fancy frame that seems to fit this elegant lilac. I'm feeling so much better, and it felt so good to make a card this week - my second one this year! I definitely feel more like stamping now that I have recovered from my surgery!
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you like it! If you want it, it's yours to play with today - it's why I love digital images (buy, receive, print, and color on the same day - hehe!). Visit my blog for some thoughts about using digital images.
Big hugs and stay warm, everyone!

Very impressive, Cheryl. The delicate taste of spring couldn't have come soon enough. Your shading, blending, layout, elegant frame, and the always so FANTASTIC gold leafing pen provide this card with a beautifully feminine touch. Gorgeous!

I'm overwhelmed with what you've done today. It's actually more like speechless. There is such a sense of elegance with that wonderful floral image. I love the dies you've used and I'm crazy about the gold edging. Just gorgeous. So glad you're over the worst of your surgery. Things are lookin' up for you!

Gorgeous card Cheryl, Lilacs are my favorite. Growing up I would always get a vase full to bring into the house. I'm so glad you are feeling better and I've heard you are having company... Enjoy.... Hugs
