I don't use pale plum very often, but somehow it was on my desk and I used it to make this Easter card.
I stamped the image and colored with markers, glittered up the outside rim of the oval and sponged the inside of the oval lightly with daffodil delight. Matted on a nestie and popped up.
Used one of my favorite b/g stamps, Teahouse which hopefully shows up in photo. It's a very delicate b/g stamp. Added 2 prima flowers on 2 corners, added sentiment using the oval and scallop oval punches and pearls.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking a look. Hope you have a great week!

Not one of my colors I usually use, but it makes a great easter card. I was looking through my gallery and the most color combo is red/black/white on alot of my cards.

Pale plum was perfect for this pretty Pamzi paper creation! I just love that teahouse background stamp--it does show up in your photo and looks lovely. So beautiful for Easter.

Pamzi, this is so beautiful. I love pale plum, so I gasped when I opened the thumbnail. Your layout is fantastic, the image and coloring wonderful and your Nestie choice and those of your embellishments are just perfect. Knockout, drop dead gorgeous card.

Such a delicate and sweet card, Pamzi. On to other matters. I saw the flower you gave Audzi and told her to tell me if she receives any gold ones from you. I told her you would know why. Now, to your card, I love this little basket of tulips and your pretty background. Just a gorgeous Easter card.

hmmmm. I was just going to say that you use purple a lot -and then you deny it!! Did you - or did you not use Cottage Garden paper iin the past -which features a lot purple. I rest my case..........
Now to the card! Very lovely!!!! So elegant -but really my dear, Easter is all about Chocolate!! This lovely card is all well and good -and yes I like the sparkle and the pretty flower - but let's see a nice chocolate easter bunny, shall we!!!!!

I had to laugh reading Jo's comment asking where the bathmat was!!! Seriously got my mind wondering that you might not be home with the ex-military man, but off somewhere with the cowboy-hence no bathmat!!!! I am not telling as a girl has to have her secrets.
This is such a pretty card Pamzi. I don't use Purple very often either-but I try. As a matter of fact I don't use orange alot-so got to get something out different and play now that you inspired me to do a color I don't do much of. The little flowers are darling on this. Great layout too!

Oh Pamzi - this is so precious. I love the soft delicate colors, what an awesome Easter card. Love the pretty coloring, soft sponging, the flowers and touch of bling. Your BG stamp is one of my favorites and perfect for this card!!
