Sweet Violets TMS #214


I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day by not working! :)   I did some house work.  I had to clean house because I'd been too busy all weekend to do that!

Time for Tuesday Morning Sketches #214 and I have a violet card for you.  I love violets!  That is a little odd since I really don't like purple, but I do love these flowers!  Maybe is was bred in me growing up in NB! :)

Floppy Latte is our sponsor this week and they graciously provided the DT with images to use.  Thank you!!

Here's our wonderful sketch by Laura...


I used Floppy Latte's Violets...


Not being a purple lover, I could not find any paper in my stash that was purple!  So I matched the green leaves and pot instead!  This DP is We R Memory Keepers "Sunsplashed."   My bow is a fork bow.  That's such an easy way to make a tiny bow!!  There are several video how to's, but I used this one...  How to make ribbons with a fork  It is short, sweet, and to the point.  Some fork bow tuts are over 5 minutes long!  Seriously??!!?? 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the rest of our DT...

Debbie, this is a wonderful card. You've done such a FAB job of steering clear of the (usual) purple and making it all come together in a lovely way. Big kudos on this one!

A violet card with hardly any purple? Crazy :) And it totally works! (I'm not much of a purple lover either - too hard to match!)

So pretty. I forgot I was going to play with this one, too. You did a better job than I could've done.
