Just for You in Purple

This is the second card I made on my bonus day of my long weekend, but I thought I'd save it for a few days before posting it, so as not to bombard you :)

I made this card using the sketch at Just Add Ink, the inspiration pic at Just Us Girls and the Create your own Background theme at Seize the Birthday.

I decided to use the purple tones with the touch of yellow and orange from the inspiration picture as a watercolored background.  So I white embossed the geometric background stamp onto watercolor paper and then after liberally wetting the panel, I dropped on various distress inks.  I concentrated on the purple tones with accents of yellow and orange, just like the photo, being careful not to overlap the colors too much.

I cut the panel down and layered onto a black piece before adhering it to my Elegant Eggplant card base.  The banners and circle were perfect for the sketch and I'd just received them as a freebie with my last order from My Favorite Things.  I'm not too sure about the sentiment, but I had to look hard to find a big enough sentiment that still fit inside the circle.

Thanks for visiting.
