Thank You Card ~ Purple Pansies {1st Post}

Last month I was one of the lucky winners at Path of Positivity
where Sparkle N Sprinkle was the generous sponsor.
I got to choose three digis of my choice.
This beautiful Pansy Circle was one of them.
I kept the card CAS so the image would be the main focal point.
First I colored the flowers up with Copic markers.
Then I added some wet glue and loose glitter to their centers.
The sentiment is one that makes me smile whenever I see it.
To finish things off  I added a little butterfly sequin to the design.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.

*Pansy Ring digi from Sparkle N Sprinkle.
*Sentiment from the Better Together stamps set from Verve Stamps.

*V17, BV00 and G07 markers from Copic.
*Muse {purple} glitter from Recollections. {flower centers}
*Grape Jelly stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.
