Beautifully done with this lovely lavender set that I rarely use (but am inspired now). Stunning details with the color, stitching, and lovely lace that fits so well. Thanks for inspiring me (always...)!

I've gotten out of the habit of using DSP and need to get back at it, as your masterful work has inspired me!

You nailed the challenge.<br />The images you used are so perfect, love how you cut out the lavender stems and adhered them the way you did. Your colouring is well done as always, great earthy tones with a touch of purple - nice! That bit of lace is so pretty, very subtle, but you can see it, and of course all your stitching :). Beautiful card Leslie, I hope to get my mojo going again, I'm off today, so hopefully I can make something work. And it's a rainy day here, temps over the freezing, the calm before the cooler weather sets us back to reality! Have a wonderful day, and many thanks for sharing your creativity, you always make my day when I see your cards in my feedly post.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676849205282452084noreply@blogger.com
