Happy April, my friends!
If you arrive from the blog of Susan Wymer, you are in the right place!
For my take on this BAF, I set out to color the petals.

First, the violet flowers were all white-embossed on vellum.
With the coordinating die, it was easy to make the precise die-cutting of the flowers and leaves.
For the coloring, I colored the petals directly at the front of the petal (not on the backside).
The large space of the images made it easy to color.
I decided to arrange the Sweet Violet into a wreath-like design.
The wreath was embellished with Altenew Enamel Dots and gold strings.

So pretty! :)
When I think your cards can't get any prettier, they do. Your violet wreath is amazing. Love the look of coloring on vellum!
What a beautiful card!! Lovely take of white embossing on the vellum :)
This is so pretty! Does the embossing damage the marker tip of Altenew markers? Just curious since there is always a warning in using Copic markers with embossing, that it can damage the marker tip.
Oh Virginia! So sweet. I love your colors and a wreath never fails to impress!
Such a beautiful card!
wow your card is gorgeous - love how pretty the flowers look in vellum:)
Wow! I wasn't sure that this stamp appealed to me but your wreath erased those thoughts. The delicate vellum blooms are amazing.
Love the beautiful wreath. What a great use of the vellum to give transparency and depth.

Your flowers are beautiful. Almost like they are see thru. Gorgeous!
What a clever use of the stamp and dies! Not that I am surprised, your talent is awesome.
what a fun way to make a wreath!
I love this beautiful card you made featuring the violets. By stamping and coloring the front side of the vellum, you have such nice saturation of colors on the flowers and the leaves. I would not have thought to then put those flowers and leaves in a wreath formation! What an awesome idea! This is definitely one that I will want to try out, once I have my violets stamp and die set! Thanks for sharing your talent and your beautiful cards! Margaret R.
This card whispers "spring" with its beautiful wreath. You've inspired me to think out of the box (for me) and try embossing on vellum. Lovely card.
