I'm sure as the last shopping day for Christmas most people will be out shopping today as its any first stray off for quite a while I can promise I won't be braving the crowds toady!
I thought I would share a royal purple card today ( I believe Purple was considered royal as the die was the most expensive and so was reverted for royalty?!?)
This card also makes use of the purple violet pixie powders I coated a piece of watercolour rad with pixie powder and then spritzed it with water before adding another piece of card to take a print and to smooth out the colour.
I cut the Tahiti die in the amethyst card and cut the successive layers in still pearl and the pixie powdered paper. I layers these to with double layers of foam tape to show the definition. The final layer is cut using the noble double pierced square dies.
On the pixie powdered paper I stamped the matching shaded nasturtiums in perfect medium and heat set them using silver shine detail embossing powder. I cut these with the matching die, shaped them and added them onto a spray of olive branch die cut in steel.
Enjoy...
Love the card. I was taught that purple was the royal colour as it was the most expensive dye and we can't both be wrong!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day off.

Morning John, oh yes a real regal card today, and it looks like a crown within the die doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteMy sons PC is not working, only got it in May so looks like we are going to have to take him and it back to the shop to see if they can repair it, I certainly didn't bargain for that today.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Very regal John, you might be in line for an MBE in the New Year Honours List for this piece of work haha.
