The inspiration for today’s card comes from this week’s PPA (Pal Paper Arts) Monochromatic Colour Challenge. The colour is of course purple…good thing, because I love purple!Rich Razzleberry was one of the In Colours from 2009, but thank goodness for Stampin’ Up!’s colour renovation which made it a core colour starting in 2010. The card started out as a Rich Razzleberry base, followed by the purple paper from the retired designer series paper, Cottage Wall. I loved that pack and I was very sad to see it retire. The ribbon is also retired but you can still get other Rich Razzleberry ribbon that are just as beautiful. The watercolour looking flower is from the level 2 hostess set, Fast & Fabulous. I stamped the lined image using Rich Razzleberry and than stamped the solid image on scrap paper before stamping over my lined image, also using Rich Razzleberry. This is a great technique if you want a lighter version of a colour. The butterfly was cut and embossed using the Beautiful Wings embosslit, it really is so beautiful…I was so happy to see that it was carried over from the Occassions Mini catalogue. I used my 2-way glue and Dazzle Diamonds to trace the embossed swirls on the larger butterfly and used a clear rhinestone brad for the head. To finish it all off I used a black thin Sharpie to draw the antennas and my white gel pen to draw the dots on the mat of the flower. I hope you like the card. Why don’t you try to make an all purple card to and see what you come up with?
