I get so frustrated with me camera....or maybe it is my computer!!! The colors of my cards just do NOT turn out the way they are IRL!!!!
This is such a pretty card! I used DCWV silver sparkle dp with DCWV Old World PURPLE. I heat embossed the Stampendous image with PURPLE ep, green ep and silver glitter. I placed a silver gem stone in the middle of the ribbon on the image.
I added a PURPLE strip of paper to go behind the image. I used six PURPLE dew drops. I sponged PURPLE Whisper ink around the edges of the image.
Trust me....it really is a pretty card! Do you know that the more I type the word PURPLE, the more goofy it looks? PURPLE......what a weird looking word.......Oh sorry....I drifted off somewhere! :P
What do you think?

This sure looks good from here in frigid Ohio! So spring-y. Love the PURPLE too. I really like how you framed your flowers by sponging PURPLE! I like it GF.

I love the * glow of light * that you have achieved on this lovely card!!! It really draws the eye towards the centre - and the bling is lovely too!
