I got to stamp again today, and it is a completely different style from THIS CARD. I did take my inspiration from THIS CARD, though, and loved the newest result. First of all, it is purple and that in itself makes it a great piece of paper. The I added pearls, satin ribbon, and punches - OH MY !! What did I create, you say ...
STUNNING, RIGHT ?!?
The colors I chose were pear pizazz (totally goes with the image , eh ... lol), elegant eggplant, and perfect plum. I had to use my cutter kit *love that little tool* to distress the eggplant layers, did some piercing and some water coloring. Instead of white, I used sahara sand, and that way the color isn't too intense.
I punched some 1/4 circles for under the pearls, and I feel it gives it more of a base, since I went with the smaller ones. Also the ribbon is celery, but it matches perfectly. Man it feels good to be inky a bit more often. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
I love your card. I am new to Stampin up. I am going to try and find this set. Thank you. Phyl

Beautiful card! I especially like the little circles under the pearls. That really made them pop.

Hi Julie,
Glad you are finding more time to get "inky". Love your cards and check your site every day for new ideas and to see what's going on in your life way up north. You and your family have had quite a year, and hope that things will slow down a bit. Best wishes for the boys as they start back to school.

I love your color combination on this card. The colors work so well together. I had to chuckle when I saw your card because I just created a card with the same set and I, too, broke out the cutter kit to distress the edges up a bit. Great minds think alike, huh? It does feel good to get inky, doesn't it? TFS!
