It's Wednesday which means a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. Linda S designed this fun sketch; I love the banner and sentiment layer. I wasn't sure I was going to get a card made this week, but I found that I *needed* to stamp yesterday to get my mind off things. I decided to make a card for my mom. I want to thank all of you who responded to my post yesterday and asked for her address. I am happy she'll be getting so many cards in the mail soon.
I was in a purple mood for some reason yesterday. I used Wisteria Wonder; aren't we all glad it's sticking around? I wish Concord Crush had replaced Elegant Eggplant, but I didn't get my way with that one either. I'm still missing that color. I was in a retired stamp set mood I guess so all the stamping is from sets that were just gathering dust.

Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, 2011-2013 In Colors stack, Whisper White

I love this picture. It was Laila's first time meeting her and she was so content to just sit in granny's lap and look at her.
This is truly beautiful Rita. Love the colours and that sentiment is perfect.
