Lavender Hello

Mornin' y'all, I'm running a little slow this morning but happily I was able to get Ryan off to school with much less drama than yesterday, *and* he has STEM club after school so I get an extra hour of crafty time today : )  So I'm going to type up this post, take Daphers for her tour of the neighborhood, and go get my stamp on.  So here is today's card:


Can't help it, whenever I see purple on a challenge I immediately think of Painted Lavender.  Here's the Inkspirational mood board:


I wonder if I have a hyacinth stamp anywhere in my collection...I don't think there's a stamp set that focuses on hyacinths, not like the ones for lavender and roses and even snapdragons : )  Oh, maybe I should use the snapdragon stamp set with this challenge too!  Anyway, I also had a go at the 500th challenge for CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches:


And here's the original card from the cover of the mini catalog:


I don't have that pocket die and really it's the only thing out of that suite that I might want, so I substituted one of the Everyday Arches dies instead and that made me happy.  The greeting is from the Everyday Arches stamp set and I recently inked up my Gorgeous Grape ink pad and it's a little extra juicy lately.  Maybe I'll attack it with a plastic spoon later today.

I finished my tea and Daphne is giving me side-eye because she knows it and she wants to go, no matter how cold it is outside.  Cheers, y'all!

Love this Christy - how perfect the lavender is for this challenge! You have reminded me I do have an old SU set with a hyacinth in somewhere ... heaven knows if I could find it though (or even remember what it was called!) Hope your day was a crafty one!
