Happy Thursday, everyone! It's time for a new Inspired By, and I think I have gained a couple hundred calories just by looking at these luscious treats:
My eye caught that sweet little green and purple cupcake up in the left corner; it reminded me of the little wild violets I would pick as a child, a sweet little bunch of them for my grandmother! And purple is always a challenge for me, so I decided to go for it:
My Pierced Blooms dies came to my rescue; I diecut some from Gorgeous Grape, with centers of Daffodil Delight and a circular panel of Lemon Lime Twist (which I was sure that I would never use again, LOL!). To give a little interest to the circle, I stamped it with Versamark using a retired stamp called Dot, Dot, Dot. I love that the Versamark makes the stamped image just a shade darker than the cardstock itself...subtle but nice! I added a white scalloped mat and little "bow" of Highland Heather, along with a sentiment from Here's A Card:
There is LOTS of inspiration to be found in our cupcake photo today---take one or take them all! Share them with us at Inspired By so we can be inspired too! Thanks for popping in today!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Such a sweet card LeAnne :-) I love your interpretation of the one cupcake!!!! ~ and your girls are stunning!!! have a blessed weekend ((hugs))
Love these sweet purple flowers, LeAnne! I remember picking wild violets from the yard when I was a little girl.
LeAnne, your card has me willing to dive into the calories, it’s such a perfect recreation of these high calorie spring confections! Your cupcake is absolute perfection, such a lucky recipient!
Another wonderful set that retired too soon ... love the dots!! and every other thing about this beautifully embossed card!!
I think it's so funny that you, and Lisa, and I chose the same cupcake out of all of those to choose from!! I'm off to see which the others chose!

I love the memory you shared and I think your grandmother would have enjoyed your paper version of those sweet little violets just as much! This is so very pretty... just like your girls!
I love your stitched purple blooms LeAnne - so zingy against the green circle too! Almost as pretty as those beautiful girls!
What a pretty card! Love the flowers and the colors you used! Another fabulous card, LeAnne!
Simply BEAUTIFUL! Your card has so many wonderful details...love it!
