Purple ...

I was in a card mingle recently.   The theme was "purple".    Purple is not my favorite color so this was a bit of a challenge to me.   

I chose an Asian theme. The body of the card was stamped with several stamps -- asian face, ginko leaf, fern, coin, etc.    I used black ink and Versamark clear.  

I made the lantern by punching out two circles of the same size -- one black and one lavender.  I  cut an edge off of the lavender circle and repeated it on the opposite side.   I did the same to the black circle, but making sure the piece cut off was smaller.   After gluing these circles together, I attached some metallic mitzuhiki cord to the back.   Embellished the stamped floral image on the lantern with a glimmer pen.  Attached to card on pop dots.

The background work is gorgeous on this card. I love purple too. Never wear but do find that I use it alot on my cards.

Great work.
