Did I make you look? Are you wearing purple? Well the inspiration for this card comes from a lot of different challenges and directions, but the true inspiration is my friend, Sandie! If you scroll to the bottom of the post linked, you can read more of her story -- and her bravery!
So let's start with the card, shall we?
Obviously I took the purple to heart, and the twist of "friendship" for the challenge over at Time Out #158. The flower is a cherry blossom, but I wanted it purple, I tell ya! I also used a sponsor stamp for the background. After doing that, I decided to do a bit of surgery on that background, so while you can't see it well through the vellum, I was able to use the sketch over at CTS #365. By now I was getting pretty excited! THEN I realized I chose the correct color for that background stamp, so now it's matchy-matchy with Inspired by - Yellow, and I got truly happy! Wow! What a feat (ok for me at least)!
Seriously, as I said before, what a blessing and inspiration Sandie is. She's sweet with her comments, uplifting, and to put it bluntly -- she's amazing that she can not only join us in our craft, but lead challenges and inspire us on. Thank you, Sandie, you're pretty amazing in my eyes! Please stop in and read about Epilepsy awareness.
