The theme for Challenge #22 at Really Reasonable Ribbon is Violets & Lilacs & Plums. Oh My!One of my spring time favorites lilacs will soon be in bloom and I love their fragrance. My card shows a Lilac but no fragrance is included. I made this flower with a Sizzix punch that punches 3 sizes of flowers and one leaf. I punched the multiple flowers in 3 different shades of violets and purple, 2 leaves in green, and arranged on a CS scrap with glue dots. I then trimmed the edge so I would have one assembled blossom to attach to the card with dimensional pop ups. I finished the flowers with pearl centers. The card base is the same green CS as my leaves and I layered it with glittery, sparkly patterned floral paper from DCWV. (Click to enlarge to see all the sparkle). Used a corner punch to round the edges of this mat and added a ribbon. Attached the Lilac to card and finished the Lilac with a lovely purple ribbon bow.
I decided not to stamp a sentiment directly on the card which would look crowded but made a tag using a Spellbinder ribbon Tag Die that I layered with a stamped scrap and added ribbon pull with a pearl. The tag slips in underneath the blossom. Bottom photo shows tag pulled out.
I plan to use this for a Mother's Day card and using a verse inside for Mother.
