I didn't have a color challenge picked out for today's card, so I decided to dust off yet another seldom-used color: Perfect Plum. I love purple but it rarely comes up in the color challenges, and I'm a challenge junkie so I don't use it as much as I'd like. I paired Perfect Plum with Elegant Eggplant and Old Olive for this card, and put a bit of Wink of Stella on the flower so IRL it's nice and sparkly. I added two rhinestones to the corner to sparkle it up a little more (although they don't look so hot in the picture).
Anyway, check out this week's theme at Global Design Project:
It's possible that I make more thank you cards than anything else; I've never counted (not going to, either!). I love doing thank you cards with fall colors too but for today it was nice to give the warm colors a rest and play with purple.
I also used this week's Fall-To Layout from Clean & Simple Stamping:
Y'all, this is totally a sketch that I use all. the. time if left to my own devices, it's SO easy. I like easy. Maybe it's a good thing I do so many sketch challenges though, keep me from doing the same card layout 99% of the time ;)
That's it for today, y'all! Ryan and I are off to the gym in a little bit. Cheers!

Hey, purple is in a lot of the Halloween decorations! And I love it! I think it adds just a bit more pizazz (spelling?!!!). So orange, black, yellow or gold and PURPLE!!! I have my desk decorated with Haloween already. Now if I could just get Dad to put up the inflatables in the yard . . .
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Kik. I love the flower, the colors and the background with the green. Yep, great card.
I love this! The purple is just lovely. I know what you mean about doing the same layout all the time. It's so easy to have a few "go-to's" but challenges keep things different :)
