Lavender Love & Wishes

Mornin' y'all!  I tried to get to bed earlier last night, I really did, but...BOOKS.  Again.  Well, I only stayed up til 10:30 instead of 11 last night, so that's an improvement, right?  One of these days I'll get smart, but I'm not going to hold my breath.  In the meantime I'm having a cuppa tea in my new favorite mug, which has Disney's Robin Hood on it : )

Anyway, I have a card to share:


It's been super overcast here lately (and is currently snowing) so the lighting isn't great on this picture but I did what I could.  I used two stamp sets currently on the Last Chance list and one that retired a while back.  Check out this week's Freshly Made Sketch:


And the Color Throwdown:



I used Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam, and Lemon Lolly for the colors.  And this also fits with the tic-tac-toe challenge from the Paper Players:


This time it's down the left, flowers - die cut - lavender, and across the bottom, lavender - glitter - sentiment.  There's glitter in the purple shimmer gems and I also painted Wink of Stella on the lavender, though of course it doesn't show up in the picture because it never does.

I just gave Daphne a new rope toy so maybe she won't insist that I take her out for a walk in the snow : )  She's having a good old time chomping on the toy so maybe.  Cheers, y'all!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Painted Lavender, Perennial Postage, Sketched Plaid
Ink:  Lemon Lolly, Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam
Paper:  Lemon Lolly, Highland Heather, Basic White
Accessories:  Painted Lavender dies, Purple Shimmer Gems, Lemon Lolly twine, Dimensionals
