CLEAN and SIMPLE -- how much simpler is it to go to your basket with misc. STUFF you had done, never completed and was considering tossing. Here was this beautiful lilac. I took it out of the "throw away pile", got out the Sizzix Die , made the leaves and stems -- stamped a mother greeting and attached it to the card.
How simple is that -- and let's talk GREEN -- EARTH DAY -- etc.
Or we could talk about the memories of getting out of the car at my grandmothers and smelling the beautiful lilacs in the spring. Such wonderful memories

This is beautiful! You're right, good memories about Grandma's house! That's why I planted several in our yard. Anyway, this card is gorgeous. Love all your individual flower blooms. So clever. The rhinestones really set off the lilac. Love the scoring around the edge of the card it really sets off your bloom. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
