A Little bit of Lavender

Happy Easter everyone!  It looks like we are in for a couple of warmer sunny days, for which everyone will be thankful.  Hopefully we'll be seeing some green shortly....and then flowers!  The winter did a lot of damage to the trees, and I am still cleaning them up, but I hope it hasn't been as hard on the perennials.  I'll just have to wait and see.


In the meantime, another card with pretty flowers.  This is another image from Just Inklined, titled Lavender Bag, and could be used for any number of occasions.  


I decided to go with a sketch this time, and this one is from Sketchy Challenges.  I found some older scrapbook paper in my stash that complements the image nicely and then some purple ribbon.  The paper candi is coloured with the same coolour that I used for the image and the sentiment border.

Here's hoping you all have a wonderful weekend, with a bit of sunshine thrown in too!
