Shades of Purple

The challenge this week at Make My Monday this week is Shades of Purple with one neutral colour and here is my take on this.

I began by inking my card and spritzing to give a lovely mottled background.
After stamping the image and sentiment, I continued with the background by stamping and embossing with Aurora Crystal embossing powder to give a twinkly effect.
The seam binding was coloured with Distress Inks and spritzed to wrinkle.
My parchment butterfly was embossed with clear embossing powder and microbeads were added for a body.

I finished off by distressing a purple mat.
I hope you like my card this week and will be inspired to join in, I love to see your beautiful and inspiring entries,
Rosie x

  7. Hi Rosie. I've added this comment whilst in Bloglovin' so it does work! Hurrah! My guess is both blogs have to be Bloglovin' ones? Will have a go at commenting on one which isn't yet next and let you know.
    Now to the card. Love it. That twinkly background works so well with your beautiful parchment butterfly. Always inspiring.
    See you soon (if Bowser allows - ha ha!) Hugs, Jenny x
