This delightful little "Tall Flower Bear" is a freebie I found last Friday at Bugaboo Stamps (Catch the Bug --Anything Goes.) Isn't he just the most precious thing holding his big summer flower? One look at him, and I decided it was time for another card done in my favorite color of purple.
The image is colored with a combination of markers, mostly ProMarkers. The it's die cut and matted (dies from QuicKutz) and mounted on a black card base. The inside has white paper for a hand written notation.
The dp is from Recollections and is also used as the mat for the image. I used sheer ribbon and purple ribbon with a sheen from my stash (could be Really Reasonable Ribbon) to make the dove tail strip, then I found a last scrap of purple gingham ribbon to tie that bow. I added a pearl to the flower center and then added three more to the lower corner. Despite the patterned paper, the design is still pretty CAS with lots of open space.

My sketch is from Incy Wincy
and, as if I needed more inspiration to use purple,
I took my colors from {Pin}spirational.
