This weeks challenge is 'Predominantly Purple' which is a colour I like, but one that not very often makes it into my cards.
The hard part was deciding which of the cards I have made this weekend to enter! I have decided on the large purple flourish.
The flourish has been stamped in violet and I have then placed a purple ring in the center, which has been stamped in white ink for contrast. Six little gems have been added for a touch of sparkle.
I really must find a better way to take pictures of the cards, to bring out the colour and detail more!
SMASHING card - is that flourish by Inkadinkado?
