Just in Time!

Good afternoon and thank you for your visit

This is a card which I made a few weeks ago when I was crafting with a friend.

We used black archival ink to stamp various images onto scraps of paper to make some quick cards.

On this card I used a white gel pen to add a few highlights and just one gem and a piece of lilac coloured ribbon.

I'm very late but would like to join in on Mrs As blog in her Butterfly Challenge #62 - L is for Letters/Lilac.  It's just the lilac this time.

Just about to run the numbers and spotted a few last minute entries. Yours amongst them. Last but not least. I love the black inking with the lavender and the sentiment will count as the letter element so I will enter into the prizes twice. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge. Hugs Mrs A.
