Aurora Wings The Lilac Sprite

The Lilac Sprite is the free Sprite with this challenge.  I am thrilled to share the shaker card that I created with her.  You'll find glitz and glimmer, feathers and photographs in this 4.25 x 5.5 card.  

The sentiment tucked behind the frame reads, 

"I hope you're my friend forever, because that is how long I'm going to need you."

 Lilacs symbolize new (or first) love and they come in many colors, white, pink, red, lavender and blue.  White lilacs symbolize youthful innocence and purity, blue--happiness and tranquility, magenta--love and passion, and lavender---first love.  Lilacs have long been associated with Easter, probably because they are among the first flowers of spring, and celebrate newness.  But sometimes lavendar lilacs are mournful, too.  This is probably reflecting the mood of the famous poem about Lilacs by Walt Whitman,
 "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd"
