Fussy and Fancy Challenge 139 - Lavendar and Yellow inspiration Photo

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********
 
Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our
very sweet and talented
Diane
Hi, I am Diane and I am from the USA in Michigan.
I was able to retire "early" several years ago
which has allowed me to really get involved in the paper crafting world.
I can only describe my style as "all over the place"
as I love just about any aspect of working with papers, inks and all
the fun embellishments that go with it!
Besides paper crafting I love to garden, cook and love animals.
I am learning to color with Copics and hope to some day
be as talented at coloring as my teammates....they ROCK!!
I hope you will enjoy the color challenge I chose for this week
and join in the challenge with us,
we are looking forward to seeing your creations!!

that Diane has created!

Oh Diane, your card is stunning!
I love the pretty beaded pattern that you dry embossed
for the background!  The lavender and yellow is so
very pretty together!  The Eiffel Tower never looked so good!
Just look at those gorgeous flowers
teamed up with the yellow swirls and leaves.  The butterflies
are lovely and the tissue paper lantern is adorable!
The lavender ribbon and bow topped with the yellow flower
finish this card of perfectly!
