ABC10P11: My letter P items are the petals of this lovely bloom as well as the beautiful purple of the ink.
Congratulations to Melody on being this week's featured stamper! I enjoyed browsing your gallery and was drawn to this card: class card 3 by lacyquilter at Splitcoaststampers because of the purple and green colors. You see, my favorite color is green and my DH's is purple and I think they look great together! DH didn't like my college roommate's expression of "whatever turns your purple green!"
I kept the green and purple color scheme and layout but changed the flower and some of the technique.
I dry embossed the green circles but out of green paper rather than sponged white cs. I added rhinestones to my flower center and popped the flower up with dimensionals. I don't have any magic mesh, but do have dry wall tape so I used that to sponge Gorgeous Grape through the dry wall tape to create that background. Then, rather than pop up the sentiment on a circle, I stamped this sentiment directly on the card base.
Again, congratulations to Melody! Enjoy your well deserved honor and week!
Thanks for looking!

I like the way you got the magic mesh in your card. I have a roll of drywall tape that I use for a stencil too; my DH knows where to find it. Very pretty card using these 2 colors! My fav is purple and my DH's fav is green~

What a beautiful card this is based on Melody's fabulous inspiration card. I love how you stenciled the purple strip and embossed the circles for that nice touch of texture. I love the sentiment you chose here too. We love purple and green in our house too- they are great colors indeed and you have used them so beautifully here. ~Karen.
