This is my card for
Lauren Meader's inspiration challenge this week.
I think I have enough paper to cover every wall in
my house if I wanted to, but I found out that I have
very little paper that is purple. In a way it was easier
to make this card because I didn't have a lot of
choices. I used a purple marker to color some of
the circles on the patterned paper. I used a purple
stamp pad to color the polka dots on the black
nylon ribbon. I used my brand new "Threading Water" punch by Fiskars (that I got for Mother's Day) to make the border on the side of the card. I embossed the flowers and then drew the leaves with a black marker. I liked the look of the card and decided that I did not want to add a sentiment on the outside. Sometimes less is more!
I used paper from Bazzil and The Paper Co., "Constellations" stamp by
Penny Black, and ribbon from Hobby Lobby.

Your card is very pretty...I love the deep rich colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is so totally cute. For some reason it reminds me of a girls night out with all of the striking black against purple. SO fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this has nothing to do with your card, but I have to tell you I LOVE the flower in your banner! BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDelete...and so is your card! Fabulous. Love your flowers and how you colored alternating circles of the DSP. Sweet!
Very very pretty - love the black with the purple - and the dotted swiss ribbon is really cute - love that threaded water punch too. Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the challenge!! Love all that purple!
ReplyDeleteI agree...it's perfect as is! Love all the techniques you used to get the look you needed! I, too, had to color my dp and have enough paper to paper my walls and my neighbor's too! Great card!
ReplyDeleteI love that paper, and it's even better that you coloured it to make it match.
