I mixed Milled Lavender and Spun Sugar Distress inks to get the color and then was delighted to find a piece of matching card stock! I didn't plan it but I love when that happens!
Of course first I heat embossed the pretty flowers on Ranger Water Color Paper. After the painting was done, I heat embossed Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder for the sentiment. This photo does not capture the gorgeous-ness of that color.
Oh how I fussed around with what to do in that top left corner. After pulling out every option of embellishments I had, I settled on a simple twine bow. A few of Lucy's Cards luscious iridescent sequins finish it off.
Thanks for visiting today!

Love the use of lavender on this card. Purple is so rarely used on cards and scrapbook pages it seems.
