I made a card last night using colors that I rarely use. In fact, it is so unpopular that cardmakers tend to shy away from using this color. I too find it a little intimidating but I braced myself and created this card anyway. By now you know what color I'm talking here. I can't tell if I like what I created but it's definitely too purple-ish for me :) If there are two things that I love from this card are the butterfly and the stamped doily. The butterfly is actually made of tissue using the buterfly die by PTI. I die-cut four butterflies and stamped each with polka dots before layer them together.
Be sure to come back again tomorrow as I have something to share :) Have a great day!
Love your butterfly and love this card.
ReplyDeletewow... I love the combo though... its true what you said... when I check my loots...hardly I see purple... he he... but you did it so well....love it...xx

I think it looks really lovely Cindy! Hardly looks like you struggled with this colour combo...lol..
ReplyDeleteVery pretty butterfly and I really love that doiley stamp!!!
Hey girl!! That cards turned out really well!! Pretty purple card. I love your butterflies, so clever!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy we shy away from purple?! I know I do too! Well, my dear friend this is just adorable! I love that tissue paper butterfly and will have to try stamping after die cutting it. Your layout and that doily stamp (who made that btw?) are spot on.
ReplyDeleteso cute ♥
ReplyDeletedont feel lonely!! :)
This is a really lovely card, I too do not find myself using purple. Love your color combo.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out well dear!! :) I've never tried purple for fear of how it might turn out..! but your purple card turned out to be a real stunner! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I really like it! seriously... I'm digging the purple! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I rarely ever use purple either but you have made a beautiful card with it!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I think you did a great job with the purples and kraft so don't worry.
ReplyDeleteI just recently picked up a couple different colors of purple cardstock as sadly I didn't have any.
my dear this is just gorgeous. Love your techniques.. seriously, everytime I see your creations, I learn something new..for today, it has got to be the polka dots tissue butterfly. :D
ReplyDeleteNo matter how much I adore purple in real life, I find it hard to craft with them too... but here you did a fantastic job! Love your stamped doily and tissue butterfly!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice, I barely noticed the purple!
ReplyDeleteI love how you cut the butterfly out of tissue (brilliant!!) and that doily - did you use an actual doily or a rubber stamp of a doily? Either way, it's so pretty!!
Wow! Beautiful card and sentiment!! I love that lace stamp in white!
ReplyDeleteThis card is all types of gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great, and I love purple almost as much as I love pink. Ya know...I was thinking about purple the other day and realized that there just isn't much DP with purple in it. Not sure why. I would use it until the cows came home. Actually I think my next card will be purple. :)
ReplyDeletePurple is not my color for scrapbooking.. it is so hard to work with this color. but I like your card, yes, especially the doily and buttefly.
ReplyDeletewow the doily turn out nice... great use of the stamp... i love the color...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful doily stamp and a butterfly, I like the purple ribbon too!
ReplyDeleteYea, most ppl aint to keen on the color purple. But I must say you did a darn good job, although it is a strong color but you manage to soften it with that gorgeous stamp and butterfly. You're a genius girlfriend
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card!
