Happy Wednesday, everyone! Laurel Seabrook has a pretty Inspired By Nature photo inspiration today as well as a fun sketch:
Isn't this pretty? Are there really purple mushrooms in real life? Not sure! Anyway, I usually RUN from shades of purple, but I thought I would challenge myself. I used the sketch as well as some purple cardstocks, so here we go:
I used panels of Purple Posy (retired), Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather for my layers. I used some dies to cut some scalloped panels, then added some embossed pieces on top. The smallest layer is a diecut tag; I stamped the words from Quiet Meadow in Craft white ink, then added a spring stamped in Soft Seafoam on top, and embellished it with some Linen Thread:
My final addition was an embossed sentiment on a little banner of Soft Seafoam:
I am also entering this at Little Red Wagon this week, which is asking for layers! Definitely out of my comfort zone, but hopefully someone will enjoy receiving it! And it was fun to use some retired as well as retiring products! Thanks for popping in today; enjoy it and be blessed!

Purple and green is my favorite color combo and I love the different pastel shades you used to create this. The texture is wonderful with the embossing and stamping on the tag. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteYou've chosen the prettiest of all the shades of purple for your layered beauty, LeAnne! Ending with a tag on top was such a good design idea!
