I just purchased a few stamps from 'Me & Carrie Lou' and I absolutely love them. This violet image is one of them. I colored up a few images last night after work. I then got busy and put this card together. I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Tinsel ep. I colored image with Prismas (and still using baby oil as I don't think they sell Gamsol in Canada?-I can't seem to find any!). I don't think violets are pink? but that'd never stop me. I used the Spellbinder scalloped edge frame, lacing two pink strips of paper through. I used the scalloped ovals for sentiment. Lastly I added some half pearls. I hope you like it Pat!!!! : )

Love your card - everything about it. Just to share with you, I use rubbing alcohol to blend my colored pencils. Gamsol is notiong more than orderless turpintine. Maybe that is why you haven't been able to find it.
Thanks for sharing your card with all of us.

Aaaaaack! Oh no you didn't! Wow Terese, when I told you to go stamp sumthin' purdy, I didn't think you'd stamp sumthin' for me! Holy schmokes! This is just gorgeous. I love every teeny weeny girlie-girl touch! I love the detail you added in the Spellbinders, running the framing to the edges- wonderful! And pearls...well, those are always purdy. And violets, beautifully colored and pink too! My favorite. Terese, thanks so much! I am so tickled with your 'sumthin purdy'. Excellent job! Hugs....
