Although the snow is still flying around here my thoughts have wandered away from snowmen and on to flowers! The beautiful flower featured on today's card is the Pansies digital stamp from the Digi Doodle Shop. The flower pot makes me think of a fancy table top with lace so I couldn't resist finishing the bottom with my Doily Lace Punch, some lace and white ribbon.
My card base is Elegant Eggplant layered with PTI White the Yoyo Yellow and Wild Wasabi finished using the Doily Lace Punch. I added some beautiful white lace and grosgrain ribbon topping it off with a single tied bow. The image was printed on PTI White and colored in using copic markers. I paper pierced around the edges then layered it on to Elegant Eggplant cardstock. To embellish the card I punched two little flowers from Yoyo Yellow using the Trio Flower Punch and added a Snow Pearl in the center. I also added some Snow Pearls along the image.
Thanks for stopping by... hope you have a purr-fect day!

Your card is awesome - I love that you used lace and pearls! Your punched borders are gorgeous! P.S. The pics of your cats are awesome. You indicated the one loves to talk. We have a similar looking cat - and he talks constantly - he is 15. Our youngest little female is 11 - and she just likes to snuggle!
