Mountain Columbine in Lavender

     I'm guest designing for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge again and the optional twist on the challenge is to "use one of the sponsor's images."  The sponsor for April is STAMPlorations and I used one of their beautiful floral stamps, "Columbine." 

     I colored this one by looking at a photograph of an actual columbine flower.  Although they come in many different colors, including yellow and red, for me the lavender ones are the best because any shade of purple is my favorite.  Purples are my happy colors!  :-D


Colored with ProMarkers
Image cut with Spellbinders die.
Die cut behind the image is also Spellbinders
Sparkle ribbon strip is Really Reasonable Ribbon
Sheer ribbon bow tied with bow maker
Everything is laid on grape CS

     Challenges:
Allsorts
CCC Digi Creations
Cardz TV
Crafter's Cafe
Creative Inspirations
Creative Moments
Dies R Us
Double D
Paper Shelter
Simon Says Stamp

     Come play with us.  The challenge runs for 2 weeks so lots of time.  If you're not a member of the Outlawz, you can join free and they have new challenges that run for 2 weeks on each day of the week plus 2 monthly challenges.

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Beautiful card! You've done a fabulous job of shading and coloring the Columbine image. I remember them growing wild in the woods also. Mostly red ones. I love the purple! Thanks for joining the Double D, "Showers and Flowers" Challenge.
