Purple Thinking of You


I thought I would post another non DT project again today. 
I love my new flower sets from Papertrey! It took me a while to color in this image, but I had a ton of fun doing it! I've been on a purple kick lately, mostly because I only have so many Copic colors. I have a small budget for stamping supplies each month and with Copics being so costly, I just can't get them all at one time. Patience is a virtue I never gained, so it is killing me that I have to wait! I'm sure there are other girls who can relate =)
I thought this card would work perfect for a Mother's Day card. I have already made a pink one similar to this for that very reason. If you can't tell in the picture, I added DD Glitter to the edges of the Label One White Nestie. I really like the end result of this card!
I will be entering this card into the Stampin' B's Challenge (Mother's Day), Creative Card Crew (April Showers Bring May Flowers), Gingersnap Creations (Botanical), Fun with Shapes (Mother's Day- Shape), YNS Challenge (Dots), Digi Doodle Shops Challenge (Anything Goes) and last but not least Crafty Ho's Challenge (Mother's Day). 

Thanks for popping in! Have a great rest of the week!

Hi Jenny- Ohhh, I love your card, and yes I can see the glittered edges. This card is absolutely fabulous! You are so talented. :)

Beautiful and I love all the purple. I can relate to the craft budget. Mine would be significantly larger if my family didn't insist on eating! High maintenance!! :)

This is gorgeous Jenny! So pretty! Totally understand the desire to have all the Copics at once. I'm slowly getting there as well.

Jennifer said...

Very PRETTY! Yes, it would make a great Mothers day card!

Such a pretty card and your coloring is fantastic!!! I also love the punched borders!! I can totally relate to the limited budget thing. There are so many fabulous products out there and only so much moolah in the old pockets :)

The time you spent coloring was worth it - your flower is beautiful.

Glad you joined the StampinB this week with your gorgeous Mother's Day card.
