For you, with love!


Hi friends! I took advantage of a gloomy rainy day yesterday to put together a card for this week's Paper Players challenge. Check it out...


I don't use purple very often, so this was definitely a challenge for me. My color of choice option is platinum. I reached for my DeNami hydrangea stamp and poured on the Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder! The blooms are colored with a water brush and the leaves filled in with WOS. 

 
 
My parents will be celebrating their anniversary next month. I think this will find it's way into their mailbox!

Using this wonderful minty card stock was the perfect choice for your platinum stamped hydrangea, Lisa! I love the little tinge of it on my favorites in nature! Just the right touch of purple, in all the right places! xx

Watercoloring the purple onto the green made such beautiful hydrangeas, Lisa, and the platinum embossing makes them stand out from the background. It's a wonderful card I'm sure your parents will love.
