Cheating!


Recycled Greeting!


This card was pretty easy! I received a manufactured Thank You card, which I only keep for a short time before  tossing , unless the sender has written something meaningful on the inside. I thought the embossed piece with the pansies on it was too pretty to trash, so I cut out the center sentiment, under-mounted a stamped greeting, placed it onto textured purple CS using mounting tape, decorated it with ribbon, pearls, a cameo brad, and a punched butterfly. Now I have a card all ready to go out to the next Birthday Girl!

No matter what I tried,  I could not get a picture that was true to color! It really is a rich,  deep purple, but appears very blue in the photo.
 I've entered this in the Allsorts Free and Easy Challenge and the challenge at
Sentimental Sundays...Garden with a Sentiment

Thanks for looking!
