LOVE LOVE LOVE these colors! Great challenge! I have been trying to use more designer paper as I love it, but I am challenged. I see it, love it, buy it, and then never know what to do with it. Sometimes I hate to use it because it is just so pretty. Anyway, most everything here is designer paper. The ivory is a speckled color and the purple bg is actually some left over poster board. I colored with spectrum noirs using 3 shades of purple and one dark blue. It really is purple IRL, but the pic makes it look more blue. The sentiment is stamped in ink it up purple. I sponged in summer sun and more mustard. Loved this challenge!
thanks for taking a peek!

Your not alone, Geni. I love DPs too, buy them and then rarely use them. : ( Your card is lovely and grapes seems like such a natural with today's colors. Lovely DPs to accent your image.

I'm glad you could use some of that designer paper...we all can relate. Your image is colored beautifully. I loved your comment on my card...I could actually see you in that dress with your beautiful dark hair. tfs

Oh, I am so glad you stepped out of your comfort zone and use your designer paper. It created such a beautiful BG for your wonderfully colored grapes. On a side note, I finally discovered that when I get to the last of a favorite dp, I scan it so I can print off in future :-). Not quite the same but close :-)

your grapes are colored so beautifully-and I really like the bg dp you used-you didn't mention the name of it-I like all the cooking words on it-would be great as a thank you card when someone invites you to dinner
