Ruffled Throwdown

Friday, January 29. 2010

Good morning and happy Friday! I decided to play along in the sketch challenge on SCS this week and the color throwdown, mostly because I don't use purple enough!

My base is PTI white. I pierced a little corner on PTI spring moss cardstock using my Ecstasy Large Corners & Borders piercing template and paper piercer. The purple layer is PTI plum pudding. The flower stamps are Verve's Because of You set stamped in Palette Violete ink. It's an almost exact match for PTI's plum pudding!

Close-up

My ruffled ribbon in aqua was from my stash. Then I used PTI's borders & corners mongram and mongram sets to stamp the little medallion and popped it up on dimensionals. I used my circle nestabilities to cut it out. The scalloped border along the bottom of my image panel was made using Fiskars cloud decorative edge scissors.

Have a great weekend!

This is a beauty and I like the touch of ribbon. I have noticed that so many people mention that purple is not a fave! I like the color, but never seem to reach for it for cards either.

I, too, love the purple......very elegant. I, also, really like that floral stamp set.
Thanks for providing the detailed recipe......!

This is just stunning!!! And I agree purple needs to be used more! lol (I'm not saying that just because it's my favorite color)
