Remember the song Purple Rain? Well, this is my card, Purple Leaves! I really have ignored this season's In Colors and I wanted to remedy that, so I thought I would make a fall card using Fresh Fig and some other purple hues; purples are difficult for me, so this was a real personal challenge:
I started by stamping a bunch of the little leaf image from Colorful Seasons in different shades and diecutting them with their matching die. I then put them in a Jar of Love jar, added a little lid, a tag and some linen thread:
Even though these may not be traditional fall leaf colors, I think they're so pretty! I added a sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet and a leftover leaf on the inside of the Crumb Cake card, too:
Thanks for popping in today--enjoy and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteI just don't know how you keep turning out such delightful cards! I love this one and now wish I'd bought this set. The paper is gorgeous but your fussy cut flower is just a stunner. Love the wee acorn too.
