Year of Flowers....Violet


Can you tell I love Papertrey's Year of Flowers? I'm a little behind with this one, the Violet. I actually didn't realize I wanted the whole series of stamps until the Sweet Pea and Daffodil stamp sets came out. Once I got those, I said to myself might as well get the whole YOF sets. They're just going to get more and more beautiful, lol!


I colored the Violet with Copics, which wasn't really that easy, to be perfectly honest. Lots of large open areas to color in and blend smoothly. Takes a looooong time. I used some pretty Memory Box papers with lovely blue-violet, lavender and spring greens. The blue-violet reminds me of the color of my favorite kind of hydrangeas. I love that particular color so much, but have a really, really hard time recreating it with any sort of media. It's a cross between lavender and blue-violet that I have no name for, but just takes my breath away when I see it. Oh well, I'll keep trying till I get it!

Hope you like it, thanks for visiting my little world!

  1. Sweet card once again. Your bows always looks so perfect and fit right into the card, for me when I do it, it just looks silly.
    Keep up the good work!

  4. Wow Katrina what a gogeous blog. I find that if someones on a design team their blog becomes very "samey" almost like an advertisement for that company but this is so not the case with yours. So many different styles. I've become a follower so you can inspire me. Di. x
