The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. I played around with the layout for hours...finally had to stop and call it done!!!!Recipe:

I repoted some of my African Violets last week and thought I would share pictures...these are plants that I grew from a start (leaf in water) that a friend gave me a couple of years ago. 
I have a burgundy one that just started blooming but I think the blue one above is my favorite!!Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day!!!

You sure have a green thumb, GF! the only thing I could keep alive was KIDS, and at times I wasn't so sure.... you know!! I love this violet card! My Mom bought this Lockhart stamp, and we played with it, but, DARN, she took it home! I guess I need to get one too. I love the layout with the circles, and I am sure your ride with DGD was tough! I don't know a group after the Beatles!!
Beautiful card Joan! I love this little Lockhart stamp too, it's just so dainty and detailed and fun to colour.
I really admire your violets. You are one gifted lady!
Thanks for sharing the photos.
I don't have any grandchildren yet, but my grown kids are always telling me about new artists, but I have not heard of the artist you had the *pleasure* of listening to. ;)
Beautiful card, it captures the color of the real violets so well. Your African Violets are beautiful, never had any luck with them myself, so I like to admire someone else's 'green thumb'!
I love your card Joan! The colors are fabulous and that's a great idea to punch out the DSP like that....tfs!!!
