When I first saw these colors I wasn't too sure how I could make something post-worthy! However, I just got this violet image and knew I wanted to use it. I stamped it in versamark and embossed in black. Next, I scribbled the markers onto an acrylic block and picked up the color with an aqua painter. The flowers done in marina mist and highlighted with pacific point. The leaves were done the same way and then highlighted with the wild wasabi marker. As usual, I don't own any of these colors in card stock so I used my marina mist marker to do a mat in that color! Works so well.
This card will go to my gf that has just finished her second masters!
Also, need to give MariLynn a big thanks for letting me bounce ideas off of her again...her idea to decorate the inside of the card...not something I do often enough.

You used these colors wonderfully, Pam. Your friend is going to appreciate your lovely card with the violets......which you colored beautifully. Lovely framing too. Well-chosen quote for the inside and the occasion.
