This card is for the Card Concept Challenge :
We are to use Purple!!
The first thing I did was pull out all the "purples" I have and smeared them on a paper with a dauber.
some of them I was not liking the color. I ended up using
PTI Winter Wisteria, Royal Velvet, memento grape jelly, distress ink: Dusty Concord.
I used three of those colors for the base of the card, using a swiping motion with my dauber.
Then I went back and laid a TCW Stencil: chicken wire and daubed it with the royal velvet, using the same dauber I sponged on some butterflies from a Heidi Swapp butterfly collection stencil.
I die cut a PTI mat stack # 1 in winter wisteria and heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. The sentiment is from SSS: Blessed.
Thanks for taking a look!
We are having a glorious day...suppose to be 86 degrees today!!
I have already been out and planted my sugar snap peas!
I really need to wash some screens and some windows...
Heart Hugs,
Colleen
