Those of you who know me, know that my favorite color is purple. When I was preparing my card for Thursday's Happy Inkin' blog hop, I used the wrong color on my card so I ended up with three cards with only one having the right color for the challenge.
Here's one and the other will be posted Monday.
I had used Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy! No Blackberry Bliss to be found!
The flower image is from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with my Light and Dark Highland Heather Blends and my Light and Dark Old Olive Blends. It's stamped directly on a piece of Thick Whisper White Card Stock. Any of you who color with the Blends knows it bleeds through so I took a piece of Purple Posy Card Stock and adhered it to the back, letting it hang about 1/8" off the edge. The Happy Birthday is stamped in Highland Heather. The stamp is from Good Morning Magnolia.
I added two Old Olive rhinestone jewels from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones.
I'm playing at Aud Sentiments #249 today in celebration of their 10th birthday.
A strip of Gorgeous Grape DSP is adhered to the inside right edge of the card base.
The inside is not finished as I am waiting for the new Annual Catalog to come out to see what new birthday items Stampin' Up! has.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a good weekend.
