Flourishes' current challenge is to make a card for Mom. I instantly knew which of the Flourishes stamps I would use, as I associate lilacs with Mother's Day. As long as I can remember, my Mom puts a big bouquet of lilacs on her Mother's grave. They're a favorite of my Mom's and mine, too. There is nothing like their fragrance!

Saw this over on Flickr--so pretty! I especially love the touch of gingham!
i think green and purple together is my all-time favorite color combo... and this is gorgeous! we had a giant lilac bush in the back yard of my childhood home... many an Easter pic was taken in front of that bush!
Lovely card! Great color combinations! :)
I love lilacs too, Lin - when I was growing up we had a huge hedge of them between our house and the neighbor's. So fragrant! I love your card with the gingham and lace!!
Oh so lovely! I love the lilacs too and this card does them justice. What a lovely card for your mother!
Beautiful, Lin! I love the purple and green together, and adding a pale yellow, with the butterfly, makes it even more special! Lilacs are a fave of mine too! :)
I love purple and this is wonderfully colored and designed. Lovely.
I can almost smell the lilac's fragance!! Love how you added the gingham panel - gives this a wonderful nostalgic feel!
So lovely in lilac, Lin! These are so realistic I can smell them! Great with the green - so crisp and fresh with a touch of vintage in the lace. A perfect combo. Love the pale butterfly for some great balance.
I really like your use of the gingham and lace with the lilac, so very pretty!
A spring delight! Love the button and twine you added to the butterfly!
Very pretty! Your butterfly is a great touch and I like these spring colors. Thanks for playing in Flourishes Challenge!
That butterfly is such a pretty addition to these lilacs! Such a tender remembrance of your grandma too!
