SSC201

DSCF6007

I needed a Mother’s Day card for a special someone whose favorite color is purple!  Concord Crush is probably my least favorite In Color, but I did have some Patterns DP, so I combined it with Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum for my simple card:

The sketch is from Stamping 411:

I did some heat embossing with white craft ink and white embossing powder using Pocket Silhouettes; the butterfly is from Dreams duJoir; sentiment is from All Holidays.  I added some pearls (forgot the three under the sentiment panel) and a little faux “eyelet” to the left of the embossed image.

    Oh, this is beautiful! Love that white embossing. I tend to have a hard time with purple, but you totally rocked it. :) Love this!

    Beautiful card. I love all the little extras on the card. I miss the picture of your cutie when you don't post one. She makes my day every day with her precious smiles.

    So pretty! I love how you carried over the same image (first with embossing and finally with ink). The line of pearls are the perfect finishing touch!

    It's very pretty, LeAnne! I like the little bit of scallops sticking out on the side.
