The Colour Purple

Good Afternoon,  today's card is for this week's Less is More Challenge - Predominately Purple.  The image is one from a Creative Expressions unmounted sheet that hasn't seen the light of day for a very long time.  I used Adirondack Eggplant to stamp the image and worked  Milled Lavender Distress Ink all over it, then  matted onto some white and purple scraps.

I am also entering my card into Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Travel Through Time


I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting.

A card for Kayla

 

Good Evening, I just wrote my post and then hit the wrong button and lost it aghh!  My card today is for my Grand-daughter, Kayla, who has given up on pink as her favourite colour and now she wants everything to be purple with a bit of green thrown in for good measure.  So I hope she will be pleased with this.  The image is from Pollycraft and coloured with a mixture of Copics and Promarkers, the bp is CuddlyBuddly, the cs is Coredinations, the flower for the stop came from a mixed box of flowers from The Glitter Girls, the punched flowers and leaves are from offcuts of Coredinations, the gems and ribbon came from my stash.  The ribbon was coloured with a Promarker to co-ordinate with the rest of the card.  

My card is for the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday which is a sketch this week.  I am also entering it into the Creative Inspirations Challenge which is Stripes

Many thanks for taking the time to visit and for the comments you leave

A card for my Mum

My card today is for my daughter to give to my Mum for her 85th birthday next month. As Mum suffers from AMD and Glaucoma I have made the card tactile for her by using feathers and a tassel!, still she is rather special. The backing papers are from Funky Fairys, and the fan is from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD. I printed off the two small sizes and then layered them on top of each other with foam pads before adding a pearl brad and the tassel.

When I started out with my card I tried to make the fan out of patterned paper from Funky Fairys so that I could enter their challenge of 'No Image', but this idea didn't work and so I resorted to the CD. My card does fit the challenge over at Creative Inspirations, however, which is 'Family' this week.

Thank you for dropping by and please leave a comment, so that I know that you have visited. Every comment I receive really makes my day. Beryl x
