May I introduce you to the Lavender Lady. Isn't she beautiful? I got this image from Magic Moonlight. Her dress was a little too pink originally so I tweaked her a bit in Photoshop. She needed to be lavender for one of the challenges I entered. I inked the pale lavender paper with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and used the same paper to make the flowers, inking their edges and misting them with water. I'm really happy with the way this card turned out. Thanks to Linda Robinson at City Crafters for the lovely sketch for this weeks challenge.

Love the image and the beautiful embellishments.
I swear I could pick YOUR card out of a thousand cards, maybe even 5,000. You sure have your own style, like no one else, and it is beautiful. I don't think I tell you enough either how much I admire your blog, it is always so classy.
Lovely! You know that is my favorite shades right, I love how you could change the color of the dress for the lavender lady, maybe I should invest in Photoshop too (kind of costly!)
