Purple and Green

 Happy Friday!!

I had fun the other day creating a few birthday cards ... what do you think?

Card #1 

 
 
Anyone who knows me, knows my favorite color is PURPLE.  And generally like to pair it with green/blue.  This scrap of Crafter's Companion designer paper worked perfectly to create my background since it was a 2 sided panel.  I even used other scraps to create my 'wet embossed' birthday sentiment panel and die cut leaves.   Nuvo Drops were added for an accent.

As You Like It Challenge -  ✓  Your favorite color combo & why.
I have love the color purple since I was a kid!  Typically paired with blues and/or greens.  A lot of my clothes are purple, my purse, my wallet, my bowling ball ... lol ... even the glasses on my face!

Card #2

 


 I had a scrap left over from THIS card and instead of putting it back in the scrap drawer I decided to quickly turn it into a card.  
I recently purchased a LOT of SU card stock from a friend who has quit card making so you'll be seeing a lot more 'color' card bases vs white from me.  And I've (of course) saved those strips that were cut off to create a variety of A6 color card bases so I could reuse them on cards such as this.

    You go with the patterned paper, Darlene! It certainly is one of my many weaknesses. That purple and blue combo is gorgeous. I feel like I could sink right into its depths. The leafy piece is right up my alley. Anything botanical. You make me want to play with my papers.

    Pretty design with your papers on the first one but I will have to say I totally love the second card, my favorite colors :)
