Purple Christmas ....

... Afternoon everyone!  Just a quick post with a card for a few challenges:

Stamps: Waltzingmouse - 2011 Holiday Ornaments; Stampin' Up! - Sassy Sentiments, More Merry Messages
Inks: SU - Concord Crush
Dies: Spellbinders - 2011 Heirloom Ornaments (S4-334) #3
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Concord Crush; Avec Thread




I know that a lot of people have been saying that Purple is not their favourite colour, but it most definitely is one of my favourites.  I kept this really clean and simple.  I cut a white panel an inch smaller than the card base, stamped the sentiment in the corner and then cut the ornament shape, going slightly off the edge.  Using my stamp-a-ma-jig, I positioned the ornament image and stamped it in purple.  I attached some thread to the bauble and wrapped some around the top layer, then adhered it with dimensional tape.  The inside has a mat layer in purple and on the white panel I stamped another ornament along with a sweet sentiment.

I'm really pleased that I've managed to combine so many challenges - the card is square (KIS), purple (sadly now discontinued - CASology), and Christmas ornaments (MM and FFC).  That's all for now, see you soon.

    Hi Deborah, I love your ornament card ..... nice touch cutting the shape over the edge like that. I love the colour purple but don't often use it on Christmas cards .... maybe I will now. Linda xx

    My mum used to use purple and pale olive green as her holiday decor colours and it was always very beautiful and earned her many compliments! Both of your cards are gorgeous, and I think purple was the perfect choice! Thanks for joining us at FF, Deborah!
