Purple and blue

Color Hues #75-Light Blue and Purple

I almost missed this challenge, but remembered just in time. Taking a scrap piece of soft purple paper I dry embossed it with an old snowflake folder. I edged it with ribbon leaving only the gold edge showing from underneath and then added it to the card front. Using a Catherine Pooler stamp and die set I stamped 2 sets of leaves and die cut them. Then I used a Prisma Color light blue pencil for colouring the leaves and some tiny punched circles in purple for interest. After adding them as you see I included a StampinUp snowflake to which I added some purple gems. A few of the same scattered around the leaves and a repeat stamp of the word Joy (also a StampinUp product) and I considered the card complete.

This was a quick card to put together and one more done for my Christmas stash. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.

    1. Thanks. I thought about using a larger stamp of the same word, but remembered this one and liked it more. The scattering was an after thought.

    1. Thanks Gayle. I got a package of these snowflakes at the end of the season. I’ve not used many but plan on using a few in the latest creations.

  3. The embossing folder with only the gold edge of the ribbon showing is a wonderful way to begin this lovely card! The snowflake is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.
