I used a previously made background, blended distress inks and a leafy stencil, it has a lovely shimmer as I've added something like Pixie Powder or Nuvo shimmer powder- made it a while ago so can't remember- but it's very pretty! I stamped the violet (A&C) directly onto the background and then again onto a scrap of ink blended card which was left over from another project, die cut a circle containing the flower heads, coloured with water-colours and adhered in place. I die cut the frame from purple cardstock, stamped the sentiment in purple to match.
I hope you can find the time to join in with this challenge, if you need inspiration there are some lovely creations from the rest of the team over at Fab'n' Funky Challenge Blog.
Thanks for visiting

Violets are one of my favourite Spring flowers and your card is a delight. Weather has been so welcome, wonderful to sit outside in the sunshine after what seemed like a long Winter.

The blending of distress inks and leafy stencil adds such beautiful texture and shimmer to the background, perfectly highlighting the delicate violet and its vibrant colors. The spotlight technique with the die-cut circle brings a unique and eye-catching detail to the design.
