I made this thank you card for my dear friend Donna who loves the color purple. Donna sent a wonderful care package (from her doxie dog "cousin Gracie") to our cat Sadie who had been in the emergency room recently. Sadie became very ill very suddenly and it was quite a scary time. Then low and behold, this wonderful package comes in the mail from Donna filled with a cat-nipped toy mouse, a wonderful Stampendous stamp for "mom" and one of Donna's super fabulous stitchery cards. Needless to say, this really made my day so I wanted to make a special card for me friend. When I finished the card, my husband said, "those are pretty lavender roses" and my brain went ding! I can use this for the alphabet challenge for the letter L. Yay!

Gorgeous!!! Your husband is right - these are beautiful lavender roses. Love how you used the striped paper on the diagonal. The thin sticker strips add such a nice touch. Love this card. Truly amazing. TFS
