Pretend they're lilies!!

Hi...and happy weekend to you all! The weather here in Richmond, VA is absolutely spectacular! Clear and sunny and even a smidgen warm! But I'm lovin' it! Especially since I'm hanging out in my air conditioned craftroom playing!! hehehe!! Remember last week when I went to Las Vegas? Did I mention that I schlepped some images and Prisma Color Pencils with me on the trip?! Well...it's true...and I actually colored a couple of images ...and ended up with just one that I'm somewhat pleased with! LOL! I can't, for the life of me, tell you what color pencils I used...a little of this and a little of that, me thinks!! Anyway...I created this fun card this afternoon with my pencil-colored Tilda...tell me what you think...



I used DPs from K&Co. (Best of Brenda Walton collection)...and cardstock is from SU...Concord Grape...yummy, huh?! Here are a couple of side views...


This card seems to be all about embellies...pearls and pearl swirls (from Zva Creatives...I love these!) and that cool metal filigree corner thingie and flowers (from Wild Orchid Crafts) and seam binding (from the Ribbon Girl) and this delightful little dragonfly Doohickey (Magnolia).



And here's a peek at the inside...no sentiment, just space for a personal note! (I'm sending a bunch of cards to my sister, Dee, in Minnesota...she's going to sell them to some of her friends...they call her "Hallmark Lady!" LOL!!)


So...I must say, I had fun making this "just for fun" card (even though I'm not really a purple person...lavender & lilac are two of my fave flowers...along with tulips and lily of the valley!!) Oh...I almost forgot...the reason I'm pretending that Tilda is holding lilies and not amaryllises (is that a real word?!...It is now! LOL!) is because this is - in case you hadn't noticed - a Spring card! I'm entering this cutie into a couple of fun challenges...

and

So...if you haven't done so already, do check 'em both out...they have some yummilicious entries already!! I'll be back on Tuesday with another fun card for Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog...so do pop back then, won't you?

And...thanks so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate your visits...and all your kind comments...they definitely brighten by days!! Have a great rest of the weekend...sending Spring Hugs your way...until next time....
