Lilacs


Hello everyone and thank you so much for stopping by! Today, I'd like to share a card I made with a lovely LOTV stamp. I love lilacs and I have two bushes of French lilacs in my yard, one white and one pink. I hope they did not die due to the extreme cold we had this winter. Well, I'm continuing my coloring with Inktense pencils. I still need to work on backgrounds...not happy with it! I used the lovely Maja Design papers, my very favorite. I think I will give this card to my mother as lilacs are her favorite flowers.

  14. WOW Christina!!! I LOVE your card! The image and your choice of paper are perfect together. When I was in northern Alberta, I had lilacs and it would go down to -40 in the winter. They always recovered. Hugs, Brigitte
