Hello, friends! Even though Spring has sprung here in Northeast Ohio, it was chilly today… too chilly for me, so I stayed indoors and had some fun with stamps, ink and Copic markers! I was totally inspired by my former Color Throwdown teammate Monika Davis to create this card, based on her GORGEOUS card here…
Now, anyone who knows me well knows that I DON’T do purple! But I decided to tackle the current challenge at the Color Throwdown, so purple it is! The stamps I used here are from Altenew… the flowers and matching dies are Beautiful Day, and the sentiment is from Label Love. I colored all the flowers with Copic markers. The BG Small Brick background from My Favorite Things was stamped in the background on watercolor cardstock, then I applied a wash of watercolor using Dusty Concord distress ink. I embellished with some purple sequins.
Here’s the swatch from the CTD blog…
I’ll be gone all next weekend with a bunch of my very best stampy friends at a retreat, so I think that’s what has sparked my recent spurt of creativity! I. CAN’T. WAIT! until next weekend!!!
Thanks for stopping by today!
