I found this piece of fabric type paper in my stash so I started there and decided to color the flowers to match the paper. The image is cut out with SB square and scalloped dies and as you can see I added some gems from Pizzazz APlenty to dot the two "i's" and added three more along the side. They matched the pink in the paper perfectly. I chopped the corners with a corner treatment punch from SU! and I was done. Well thanks a bunch for your visit today and I hope to be back soon. I am trying real hard to get myself back into a card making routine but for some reason things keep getting in my way.
This is such a sweet and fun card, and I just love that gorgeous purple paper with the pink flecks of color scattered about! Those pink gems were the perfect accents to this fun card, and I hope your DGD has lots of success with her new job(s)!!

What a sweet & thoughtful Granma you are. Your granddtr will love this pretty card. And how splendid to use an image she had given you. It's just as cute as can be, colored so prettily too. I love that fabric background paper, it looks like Mulberry paper with the texture threads. Well done on such a sweet card & best of luck to your sweetie in her endeavors. Good for her at having the gumption to tackle TWO jobs! TFS & Happy wkend.
