I remember as a child growing up that there were a few special occasions when a box of fancy chocolates would show up and they were always occasions when love was being celebrated - Valentine's Day, my parent's Anniversary, sometimes even Mother's Day. If we were oh, so good, we could choose a piece from the box and that meant "Love!"
My card today celebrates those lovely memories with an image from House Mouse.
I stamped and colored the image (using ProMarkers), then cut it with a plain rectangle die from Spellbinders. I matted it with dp from SU and cut it again with another, larger die from that set. The background dp came from a pad by Paper House. I've used so much of it because of the entire pad is all purples and now I wish I'd purchased three of them instead of just the one.
I wrapped the card front with sheer, lavender ribbon and dug out one of my hand-sewn bows, dyed it purple, and layered it onto the sheer ribbon. The tiny flower is embroidered using purple floss for the flower itself and a combination of purple and green floss for the stem and leaf.
Finally, I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and added it to the bottom corner of the image.

I decided that I'd also use the color palette from Outlawz Color Challenge
since it has all my favorite purples in it. :-D
