Less is more - use purple



I've finally managed to make a card for a challenge! Less is more want to see purple this week, now with my love of purple, how could I refuse!
I started off by playing with my new delicate aster dies and stamps and coloured them in shades of lilac and green with my copics. I added glitter to the centre as described in yesterday's post and allowing it to dry this time! I embossed the bottom of a 5x7 card base with a chevron embossing folder by diesire. The card needed something to balance it out so I stamped the sentiment from the Winnie and Walter, Big, bold you set and fussy cut it before adding to the card on foam tape.

  13. This is beautiful Cara. I've had these Delicate Aster dies for quite a while now and I love them, even though it does take quite a while to stamp and cut them out. It doesn't mater whether you use just two, or five of them, they always look great when they're layered up. I tend to have a session where I make quite a few at a time, I then use them as required. Your Aster works so well here with the embossing folder. Have a lovely weekend. Sandra X

  14. This is lovely, the floral spray makes a great transition between the embossing and the plain card!
    Thanks so much

  16. That's beautiful Cara! I bought those dies and stamps at the SECC in March and I don't think I've used em yet. You have inspired me to break them out.
