I am absolutely in love with this card! First off, I love the look, colors and smell of lavender. So much so that I have anything and everything connected to it. Lavender shower gel and lotion, essential oil for my laundry, diffusers, candles, etc. So it is a natural progression that I had to have the Lavender Suite. I personally don’t do much with patterned paper unless I can connect with the majority of the patterns in the pack, this set is a success with me – purple is always welcome, I adore the natural rustic feel of crumb cake – this entire suite has won me over. For this card, I had the overwhelming need to add in the Simply Zinnia bundle – for an additional touch of color. It feels more like a flower garden with that addition which also works perfectly for a birthday card. The Crumb cake gingham patterned paper works so well for the background – and I simply love the pattern. The colors are what makes me the happiest with Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape for the lavender. Berry Burst, Lofty Lemon, Pumpkin Pie, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the Zinnia. The leaves are Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstock. The flowers and leaves are cut with the coordinating Simply Zinnia die set. The sentiment is from the Notes of Nature stamp set, stamped in Crumb Cake on Basic White cardstock and die cut with the Tailor Made Tags die set. The final touches of the Natural Wavy Trim – which is hands down my favorite ribbon/trim of all, and a dash of purple and sparkle on the tag with the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (another piece to the Painted Lavender Suite.)

Summer and Sunflowers – just go together! (in my mind). This is a card that just makes me happy by looking at it. Not to mention this is probably my all time favorite flower (very close second is daisies) making this my all time favorite stamp set. The flower is stamped in Daffodil Delight, the die cut outline is Mango Melody cardstock, the leaves are stamped in Granny Apple Green on Parakeet Party cardstock then inked around the edges with Parakeet Party – just to add some depth. The leaves and flower are glued together, then attached to the card base with dimensionals. The Patterned paper is an absolutely gorgeous pattern and color combination from the Hues of Happiness DSP. It has been dry embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder, then attached to the Mango Melody card base with Seal tape runner. The sentiment “Relax & Enjoy Your Day!” is stamped in Early Espresso on a tag die cut from the Tailor Made Tag Dies, then glued to the finished card base. A touch of dewy golden sunshine sparkle comes from the Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots Assortment.
