One in Purple

I know I've mentioned this before, but I don't work with too many purples. That's our daughter, Cathy's color. Her front door is purple. She has more than one purple purse. She painted her dining room the most delicious purple...well, you get the idea. Not that I don't like the color, I just don't work with it too much; unless I'm making something for Cathy!

So why am I talking about purple? Because monochromatic purple is the theme over at The Card Concept this time. When I first saw the theme, I figured that, oh well, I'll just miss this one. But I really wanted to play!!!! It has taken me this long to come up with something I actually liked but I kept at it. Idea after idea. Rip after rip. Toss after toss. My recycle bin is chock full of purple bits, lol! I stuck with it, however and came up with a little something that I would classify as 'Clean & Graphic.'




And here's my study in purple:




Had to dig for purple scraps. But found three pieces just the right size and shades. Trimmed and glued to a Neenah white base, added a HA sentiment with some Elegant Eggplant ink by SU and one brad whose poor little leggies were ripped off, bwahahahahaha! IRL, it looks cooler. And that's it for me today. Happy dances everyone.
