The last two weeks have flown by and it's time again for another challenge at Crafty Cardmakers.Hosted by Fiona, who decided to tax my brain cells and choose the theme of Purple!
So cards/projects that are all or mostly purple please - hair/skin colours are allowed.
This is not a colour that I use a lot - not because I don't like it but because I struggle to make anything with it that I actually like when it's done!
However, I am actually quite pleased with this effort for a change!
I used basic purple coredinations cardstock for the background.
Stamped it with a lovely floral branch stamp from Flonzcraft and then white embossed.
I used Dusty Concord DI and lightly coloured some of the flower petals.
The flowers were done using an old set of stamps so have no idea who made them!
I punched out the butterfly and gave it a little blingy.
Finished with some antique style lace and shoestring ribbon.
No sentiment ....yet.... but maybe it doesn't need one?

So elegant and pretty! Thank you for playing along with my Flutter By Wednesday Challenge!
So glad you are pleased with this Viv and so you should be - it's very pretty. Purples are one of my all time favourite colours I use, mainly becuase I'm not very fond of pink! X
It was really worth your efforts - this card is beautiful! So elegant and perfect for many different occasions. I love using purple on my cards, but I feel the same way about green as you do for purple.
Stunning card Viv. I love the design and gorgeous colour.

I love the purple colour and the flowers look perfect edged with the silver. I think your stamp might be from Hero Arts. It looks very similar to some in their 2011catalogue. hugs Mrs A.
