More Purple...

Happy Friday,

Another card made form a demo pice form last weekend today.  this time I have used the pieces to make a multilayered card that looks far more complex than it is!  Plus I thought it was time we had a revisit to my large bows lol

I made the oval stamped front using the oval media plate and my argyle duo mask.  I inked the plate and added the mask over the top and brayerd over this to transfer the pattern to the plate.  I stamped this then stamped the little bubbles form my clear stamp set in a darker blue around one edge of the plate so that when I stamped it it shaded the oval.

Next I stamped the flower silhouette stamp and the sentiment and finished with one of the leaves form my circle leaves set around the edge in the 2 ink colours used.













The background is made using the large media plate and my butterfly and dragonfly stamps using the resist technique ( there is a video on this on youtube and its described on this tuesdays post!)

I made up the card as shown with mats and layers and a large bow with roses in the centre.


Enjoy...

    Morning John, beautiful, gorgeous, stupendous, yes all of these, I love the way you have mixed the colours and they way they have blended, if you look quickly the oval reminds me of an Easter egg with patterned foil around it.........silly how things spring to mind isn't it.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Gorgeous card John and I agree with June that the oval looks like an Easter egg with patterned foil around it.

    Hello John,
    Striking card, and I agree with June. First thing I thought when I saw it was an Easter Egg (my thoughts are never away from my stomach for long ha ha). Love the bow!!!
