It's that time again...TeaPotter swap. Gracie (JRHolbrook) has challenged us to use Red. I just love how red makes my favorite color ever more wonderful! And so I played with hues of purple and red.
The eggplants were first paper pieced with various Basic Grey classic purple hued patterned DP and embossed with Ranger 'Detail' Clear. I stamped the stems and leaves with several TH DO 'greens'. Then all were fussy cut. I had stamped the original A Stamp in the Hand image in VersaClair 'Morning Mist' as a guide for placing the veggies. I used a tiny heart embossed with 'Crusade' as well as the two tiny blossoms.
My card is oversized to balance the purples. I loved the upcycled netting. It reminded me of some of the hair do~dads my mom would wear on 'cleaning' day.
The Art Impressions sentiment is not only funny, but has special meaning as well as perfect for our little swap. I was blessed to attend the Art Impressions Warehouse sale in the fall of 2019 with a few girls from SCS. For some, it was the first time meeting up in person...we had such fun. Heavenly bodies indeed!!!!
Thanks for stopping by and hanging with me. I am seriously missing in person fellowship...
And thank you Gracie for bringing up the color Red. Passion, Lifeblood, Vibrancy.

OMG! Am I jealous of your fun trip to the AI warehouse sale! How awesome! I love the fun sentiment and the purple with the red. What a fun set of diverse heavenly bodies. Love that purple netting!
Love the netting. The card is so striking with the purple and red. Reminds me of a photo I have of my mom in her red hat society outfit. Lovely. And I am also envious of your visit ti the AI warehouse.
