Day 114 - Lovin' Lavender


First off I must admit I am not a fan of lavender or purple so right away I knew I was in trouble when I saw the challenge for today over at "365 Cards". The challenge was to make lavender the dominant color on our card. I think I accomplished that and I threw in a little of my favorite color (green) and some purple for a friend.

I used papers from Prima called Nursery Tales. Very soft papers in pinks, grees, and lavenders. I used a lavender colored bazzil paper for the base of the card and Stampin' Up Little Leaves. I used my EK retro flower and ran it through my swiss dots embossing folder and then I sprayed it with fully purple glimmer mist spray and although you can't tell from the picture it has an irridescent look to it. I stamped thinking of you (Unity Stamp June KOM) on the paper. I think it turned out okay what do you think?

I will be back to post one more card for another challenge. Enjoy!

    You've done a magnificent job with the lavender challenge...I don't tend to reach for that color very much...I really need to buy that retro flower punch...

    I like the dots and stripes, Sherry! Isn't funny what colors do to us? But you hung in there with a pretty lavender result!

    Love the striped paper. You did a great job, considering you had to use the dreaded purple. LOL

    I love your card! I'm not sure why people hate purple so much, but if you had a problem with it, it is not evident. Love your design, too!
