My photo does not show the true colors of the dp! It is a lovely light lavendar...not as dark as the photo. So, close your eyes and picture a lovely light lavendar.........Now, open and visualize the light lavendar dp (Making Memories dp) and then you will see what my card looks like IRL!!!! :P
I stamped SU Blossom abounds in two different lavendar inks, but they must be too similar to contrast. I ran the lavendar base through my NEW CB (YAY!!!!!...Oh I'm so loving it!!). I used my oval nesties for the image. The scalloped nestie was too big for the card, so I cut it in half and placed it on the opposite ends of the oval. Does it look ok like that? I'm not sure.
I stamped the sentiment and placed on dp. I bought a new butterfly punch at Joann's yesterday (Not sure of the brand) and punched out four butterflies out of lavendar cs, inked edges and placed on pop dots. I placed the image on pop dots also.
I think that is all I did. I made the card before work and had to rush to get this all down.
What do you think?

I could never get such a pretty card done b/f work! Love how you did the scallop edges on your oval. I've always loved this set, but never purchased it. You gotta draw the line somewhere!!!
