Purples!! This is one shade that I barely ever use. Except for Rich Razzleberry, which is close enough to a deep burgundy shade for me to love it. The color combo I used was taken from from patterned papers from the current catalogue (which I don't own but really should!) and the stamp set I selected was in great part inspired by Kirsty, who always produces the most amazing creations with her Petal Pizzazz set. Mine, whoever, has only been inked once - that's right, once!! - since being won at a team convention almost a year ago. It was high time to remedy that situation, so here is the card that came out of it.
The design was based on this week's Sweetest Thing sketch and the idea to use part of a frame from the Vintage Labels set (SAB) came from a paper scrap I had on my desk! I had punched the centre out to make the pink flower card I shared earlier this week and was inspired to use the outside on my flower to make it more interesting. I think it's a little detail that packs a lot of punch!
(Sorry, the colors are not the best - I've been trying everything on my photo editing software and can't get true colours any way I try...)
Color Combo: Old Olive + Rich Razzleberry + Lavendar Lace + Opulent Orchid
Combinaison de couleurs : Vert olive + Fruits des bois +
Dentelle lavande + Opulente orchidée
Du mauve!! Une couleur rarement mise en vedette sur mes projets. Sauf peut-être pour la couleur Fruits des bois, qui tire plus sur le bourgogne et que je trouve vraiment magnifique. La combinaison de couleurs est inspirée des papiers Mur et maison du catalogue et le choix du jeu d'étampes est inspiré de ma collègue Kirsty, qui fait toujours de petites merveilles avec son son jeu Petal Pizzazz, alors qie que le mien n'a été encré qu'une seule fois depuis que je l'ai gagné l'an dernier à une rencontre d'équipe... Il était temps de remédier à cette situation et voici la carte que j'ai créé avec mon jeu cette semaine.
Le design provient du sketch hebdomadaire de Sweetest Thing et l'idée d'utiliser un cadre du jeu Étiquettes d'époque (SAB) au centre de ma grosse fleur vient d'une retaille qui traînait sur mon bureau! J'avais poinçonné le centre du cadre pour ma carte avec la grosse fleur rose partagée cette semaine et j'ai utilisé le contour du cadre pour décorer ma fleur. Un petit détail qui ajoute beaucoup de punch, je trouve!
(Désolée pour la qualité des couleurs sur la photo - je n'arrive pas à modifier la photo de manière à obtenir les couleurs telles qu'elles sont vraiment...)

Just stunning Cindy! I love it! I am so glad that I inspired you to dust that set off. I need to step back from that set a bit. I am always playing with it! LOL! You have so many great ideas incorporated in your card. I must use some of them!
