Purple and Green

 Hello Friends . . .

I don't have many DT cards to share this week so I thought I'd take the opportunity to play along in a few challenges I spotted over on Paper Playful.

Today I'm starting out with a color challenge that just happens to be one of my favorites.  Of course, if you know me at all, you know that anything along with PURPLE works for me lol.  Here's the color combo for the new challenge over on  the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge Blog (ends 7/6).

 

 I started out making just one card but then spotted another old stamp that I thought would make a nice card and ended up with two cards.  I hope you like them.

 

My base card and matting card stocks are Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green (sorry it's hard to see in the photo ... bad time of day for the photo I guess) then I used Gorgeous Grape for the coloring on the flower & butterfly as well as Garden Green smearing for the background.  Garden Green was once again used to stamp my sentiment.

 The stamp is Inkadinkado and the sentiment is Simon Says.

Other challenges to share in:

Girlz Rebel Challenge #53 - Butterflies (ends 7/8)
Try It On Tuesday - In the Garden (ends 7/8)
 Passion for Markers - Add Flowers (ends 6/30)

 

  My second card . . .

 

 Flower stamp is Penny Black, sentiment is Simon Says and inks/card stocks are SU.


Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day ahead!!
As always . . .

    I love this color combo and you've used it so beautifully! I really like the artsy look of the first card, and the sweet Dutch iris stamp in your second. You have mastered the CAS style, Darlene!

    Beautiful cards! I love the light wash of green on your first card and the frame around the top panel! Both great details and fun ways to show off our colors! Thanks for sharing at CAS Colours & Sketches!
