Birthday in Lilac

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

And a big Happy Birthday to DRS Designs! Wow 20 Years! I still remember the first time I encountered DRS Designs...at a stamp convention in 2003 and it was love at first purchase, lol. I still have the flyer they gave me when I made my purchase. Several of the ones I bought have been retired, but not my favorites...the Large Original Plaid and the Open Plaid. I have used those two more times than I can count. Speaking of plaids, check out the DRS Thursday Challenge yesterday...it's all about PLAID!

For my Birthday card (yes it is a Snapdragon image, but I decided it could double for a lilac), I used Copics to color the image and also to make the light purple banner. I ran out of the color I wanted so I had to make one. I embossed it w/ a chevron folder and stamped the lt blue banner w/ an argyle pattern.  The image was die cut w/ a diamond shape die and I did a little Out of the Box treatment on it. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

So pretty Julie! I LOVE the purples and blues together! I can't believe you colored the purple banner - it's perfect!
I love how you changed the snapdragon into a lilac - you had me fooled :)
