CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF929

For this week's catalog CASE, I chose to loosely follow the sketch. Instead of the scalloped circle, I used the scalloped oval in the Framed Tulips bundle. I did keep the floral images at top right and lower left of the scalloped background, but went with a different color scheme.

My mother's 91st birthday is in nine days, and she loves violets, so this card is for her, along with a batch of her favorite cookies, lol. She'd rather have cookies than cake, and now I know where my cookie monster tendencies come from. 😁

The violets were die cut from Basic White, then colored with Stampin' Blends. The centers have tiny bits of Golden Glow glued behind. I brushed Peaceful Pine ink onto a scrap of white for the leaves to produce a lighter shade. The veins got a little Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush on them and some rhinestone jewel "dew drops" were added.

I also brushed Fresh Freesia ink on the center of the oval to help the greeting stand out.
