Happy Sunday Morning Friends!
We have family visiting from Pittsburgh but while they are still asleep this morning I thought I'd share a card with you that I created yesterday while playing with some of the images I recently won over on The Outlawz from Rick St. Dennis. This images is called '1960 Couture Hat'.
Anyone who knows me knows I love PURPLE! Any shade of it!
So, of course I just had to color one of these lovely ladies in this regal color!
A pretty quick and easy design. My design paper is Paper Pizazz and I just love the wispy pattern.
A touch of Crystal Effects was added to the gems on her hat and her broach.
And of course a little sponging of TH Vintage Photo distress ink around the edges to give her a more vintage look. I have had the regal gold satin ribbon in my stash for a very long time and thought it worked perfectly with the gold broach and deep purple.
I don't know why I forget to make gate fold cards! They are so eye appealing and always get attention at my craft shows. So, today I finally 'thought about it' when cutting/scoring my base card.
