Happy Birthday Jan Marie!!!

 Let’s light the candles and strike up the music!! The owner of Flourishes – Jan Marie Caruso – is celebrating a birthday and we’re helping her by getting the party started with just about the entire Flourishes Crew!  Why not leave some love on her blog HERE and while you are hopping around, pay a visit to the Flourishes team members who are honoring her special day!

I've decided to use the birth flower for February as the feature of this card - Violets from the Flourishes set Sweet Violets!  I've used a base of purple bazzill and layered with white (pierced), Old Olive and some Basic Grey Wisteria DP.  Across this I've added white (punched with MS Lattice Arch punch) and more Wisteria DP.  Over this I've added some white crochet lace and topped with purple satin ribbon.  The Violets have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (V01, V12, V15, V17, Y35, G40, G82, G85, Y0000).  It's been cut with Large Circle Nestabilities and matted with Lacey Circle Nestabilities and then popped up on foam tape.  To finish I've added a bow to the ribbon and a few Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to the corners.
