Hello! One of my favorite things in spring is Lilacs! I just love the smell of them. My Mom has a bush and cuts me a vase full every year. With all the warm weather we've been having here in south central PA they are liable to be blooming early this year! Hopefully they don't get froze out if the nice weather doesn't stay.
My card uses a older wooden "Gruffies" stamp called Lavender Bouquet by Stampabilities. Which it now seems is sold by Stampendous as a cling mount and called Lilac Bear??! Either way it's a cute stamp! I colored it with my prismacolor pencils. I used my most used go to embossing folder swiss dots. Love that folder! Mine is getting well used so I bought a back up for when this one gives out an eventually breaks(it's getting very weak at the seam). I added a MFT Banner die cut topped with a button an tied with a bakers twine bow. I also used a PTI Doily die. This card makes me smile! Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!

Adorable!!! I remember that stamp very well and you colored him SO nicely, Janice! Love the design of your card and all those wonderful layers! Definitely my kind of card!! PS. I have noticed my lilacs are soon going to bloom too...crazy weather this year!
I can smell them, Janice! Just hope they don't think about leafing out until the frost is over. Great Gruffies card for springtime! Hope the wind is not blowing you away.
