Lavender blooms...
you can't see the individual lavender buds,
until the background is punched.

Stems and lots of delicate lavender leaves.

This is the back of my Punch Needle project.
When I have a lot of little details, 
I will leave my Perle Cotton 'tails',
just a little bit longer.  The details are
actually easier to punch around, when the 'tail' is longer,
because you can easily hold it back with a finger,
while you punch.

There is nothing that says "warm weather"
quite like a lilac in bloom.
This lilac is about 60 years old 
and smells so heavenly.
Not to mention that gorgeous color !
