I needed a Mother’s Day card for a special someone whose favorite color is purple! Concord Crush is probably my least favorite In Color, but I did have some Patterns DP, so I combined it with Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum for my simple card:
The sketch is from Stamping 411:
I did some heat embossing with white craft ink and white embossing powder using Pocket Silhouettes; the butterfly is from Dreams duJoir; sentiment is from All Holidays. I added some pearls (forgot the three under the sentiment panel) and a little faux “eyelet” to the left of the embossed image.
Thanks for visiting today!
- Stamps: Dreams duJoir, Pocket Silhouettes, All Holidays
- Paper: WW, Perfect Plum, Concord Crush, Concord Crush Patterns DP
- Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, White Craft
- Acc: Pearls, Eyelet Border Punch, Taffeta Ribbon, White EP, Heat Tool

Beautiful card. I love all the little extras on the card. I miss the picture of your cutie when you don't post one. She makes my day every day with her precious smiles.

Totally love what you've done here. Just beautiful!
So pretty! I love how you carried over the same image (first with embossing and finally with ink). The line of pearls are the perfect finishing touch!
This is really lovely! The concord crush just makes this so rich looking. Congrats on making the 411 Showcase...it is well-deserved!
It's very pretty, LeAnne! I like the little bit of scallops sticking out on the side.
LeAnne, this card is stunning. Congratulations on your well deserved pick at 411 this week. GORGEOUS!
