Here's my Double Dog Dare card for this week!! All done and just in time for the new one coming up tomorrow! This week, Francie G. dared us all to make a card with any colors we wanted. But, we had to choose one of those colors and include three shades of it on our card. Pretty clever, eh? I chose purple for my color. Two shades of CS (elegant eggplant and pale plum), another shade of purple in velum CS from Marcos paper, and a fourth shade of purple - Lovely Lilac - was used to stamp the image. Thats four shades! I should get bonus points for the extra shade, no?!! ;) LOL!
Paper: White, black, Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, Pale Plum, purple Velum CS from Marcos Papers
Ink: Lovely Lilac
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds, Nestibilities Lables, CB Hearts EF, Scallop punch, circle punches, Butterfly punch by EK Success, Small Flower punch by Marvy, Faux Rhinestone
