*Raises own hand. Waves it violently*
But here's something to put you all in a better mood. Who doesn't love PURPLE? And lots of it.
Over at The Card Concept, we've got a brand new challenge and I was instantly drawn to the variations of all the purple bottles.
I loved the glassy and chalky finish to it, so I busted out my Ken Oliver Color Burst Crystals and a paintbrush and went to town on the big ol' hydrangea stamp from Winnie and Walter's In Bloom: Addie's Garden stamp set.
I painted a matching row of stripes on my side panel and gave my other panel a little funky curvature using the STAMPlorations Sttched Snow Hills die cuts. Who says they have to be snow hills? I finished off the look by adding some opalescent sequins.
I was inspired by the challenge going on at City Crafter. They want to see flowers on your projects. Happy to oblige!
I hope you'll go check out The Card Concept and play along!
By the by - I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today sharing a hippity hoppity Eastery design.
Pop over and check it out!
Raising my own hand, I'm not a huge fan of purple - it's our daughter's favorite color, and I don't like to step on toes...however, those bottles in the inspiration photo are pretty sweet. As is your card. I popped over to the challenge earlier, and saw your card there. Wow. A real standout, if you ask me. You've actually made me like purple a bit more! It's a gorgeous card. And what a sweet bunny!! The pinks and greens are so Spring-like. With coffee, it's a very, very happy card!!! Love them both. Bev
ReplyDeleteI used to LOVE purple, then it was too much, and now I'm really starting to love it again! I love your card, of course! It's so bright and cheerful and really makes me feel like spring!
