Considering that purples and lavender are among my most favourite things you would think this theme would have been easy for me. That said, yesterday, when I made it, I had absolutely no mojo whatsoever so thinking about making a card was a challenge in and of itself. I had the outer die cut frame left over on my desk from another project and decided that it might work as a starting point. I also remembered I had this lavender stamp (red rubber type) from Impression Obsession so pulled it out to use. First I sponged the leftover frame with wilted violet ink and glued it to the lavender card front. I then used some text vellum paper gifted to me by a stamping buddy to stamp the image. I sponged green at the bottom and as much of the stems as I could and then added wilted purple to the top portion. Stamped it and liked the result so once dry I die cut it using the same type of die as the frame. Glued it on the angle and added the sentiment which is from a GKD incentive set. Added a few purple gems and called it finished. Not a bad result from a very uninspired mind.
Looks pretty! Sometimes I think we overthink things and always think it needs more. It is lovely!

I am so happy you like my card and thanks for the comment. Like so many people right now, my moods are a bit up and down. This virus upsets everyone in a big way. Thankfully where I live they have done a good job of bending the curve and things are improving a lot.
