I really wanted to use some amethyst colored crushed velvet ribbon I've had for ages, so I tried to work with almost amethyst! Purples are difficult for me! This little moose is in the February SOM stamp of the month at www.cdstamps.com. It will be available to earn on Feb 1! Once you spend the required amount, you get this stamp set for free! In the set there is a little butterfly, party hat, and several moosey sentiments along with this moose.
i stamped the party hat on the moose head and then watercolored the image using a waterbrush on watercolor paper.

Laurie, I wouldn't have known that you struggle with purples (I do, too)...'cuz this card is ONE POPPIN', DARLIN' SUPERCUTE CARD!
I love the green with the purple on this and I'm diggin' that ribbon and fancy buttons, too! LOL Great watercoloring on Mr. Moose.
