I love this Mauve Mist from SU. They discontinued it REALLY fast, and never had a marker to go with it. I think the color looks like ashes of roses. The poppies in cream are sponged with it, and the sentiment is stamped in it too.
This sketch looked hard, but it actually went together well.....and I love it.
This will go to a friend who just had surgery. Thanks for looking.

So soft and delicate, this is really feminine - I love soft, dusky pink like this and it's hard to find these days - looks gorgeous with the dove gray, Anne!

I remember Mauve Mist from when I first became a dem in 2001. It was in the Soft Subtles collection. Its a perfect Downton Abbey color so maybe we will see something similar again. I know I have a marker somewhere and the Stampin' pastels. Sad to say the cs may be ALL gone. Beautiful card and sure to bring some cheer.

Mauve mist is a beautiful color! I really like the ribbon and the touch of color on the flowers. This is a beautiful card and your friend will love it!!

Oh so beautiful Anne. I still have Mauve Mist cs, ink pad and yes, a marker!!!!! You are so right in description that it reminds you of ashes of roses. that is it exactly. I bought up some extra when they retired it, so I have a little stash. I love what you did with those poppy dies. I have done that but only with red & black. Will have to try it sometime with softer colors. Thanks for a lovely card and the inspiration!!
