It's Purple and Green at Craft's and Me

Good Morning Peeps,

Hopefully if this post has scheduled correctly I will be chilling in the Cotswolds, ahhhhhhh fabulous!  Today's challenge over at Crafts and Me has been chosen by our very own purple Frog "Amy" and Amy has chosen a colour theme, not too far off one of my favourite combo's, "Purple and Green".  Now, lilac and mint is one of my favourites and this combo is just a shade or two darker, so I personally love it.  We are being sponsored by Mary Dew Lee from Serendipity Stamps , these are gorgeous and I don't think you'll want to miss out so please pop over the see the beautiful creations the design time have produced HERE and we look forward to visiting all your blogs to see your interpretations of Green and Purple.  Here's my card using one of the new Crafts and Me very own brand of stamps designed by Sara Burrier, she is called "Romeo Oh Romeo" and you can purchase her from HERE.

The background paper was a freebie from Scrapbook Magazine and the green paper is from basic grey.

I have distressed all the edges using walnut stain distress ink and added diamond stickles. I added old paper distress ink around the image.  The image itself has been coloured with copics.  I was going to have a play with painting with my distress inks and creating a background but I couldn't find my watercolour brush :(  I do have some time schedule for a craft tidy up but the last time I did this I couldn't find anything for week's, lol!

A bit of a dimensional view for you.

I have used a Marianne Design Die for the swirls coming out of the flower bloom, which incidentally is from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I have also used two doilies and spritzed with glimmer mist, edged with walnut stain distress ink and added some diamond stickles.  I have also used those gorgeous metal corners, I got these from one of the craft fairs from a stall right in the corner and will have to try and find them again at the next Stameprama.  The leaves are from the gorgeous martha stewart front punch.
