Lilacs

Hello! It's time for another great sketch from The Sweet Stop! It's the third Saturday so that means it's sketch with a spin time. The spin this time round is dies or punches. I just love all the different shapes and layers on this sketch! I wanted to use some of the New DCVW Chateau Lavender Stack 12x12 pad that I just got. It's so pretty and reminded me of Lilacs so thats what I went with for today's card! I just Love the smell of Lilacs.One of my favorite things about spring! I really like how this card turned out!
