PURPLE AND PUNCHES

ONE CARD, TWO CHALLENGES...BOTH USING SOME OF MY FAVORITES.   THE COLOR PURPLE AND MY NEW ADDICTION, MARTHA STEWART PUNCHES!


I made this card to enter into the challenge over at scrapitgirl.net, which is a "Punch" challenge and all thats required is to make a project using any of your punches...The other is over at littlescrappieces.blogspot.com, and its a "Purple" challenge.  So, if you have some time, stop by and check them out or even create something to enter.



Sweet and simple

For this card I used the following cartridge and measurements.  George and Basic Shapes-
oval (pg 114), cut at 3 inches (green) and 2 3/4 inches (lilac).

For this 5" x 7" card, I cut two pieces of paper for the first layer...the lilac paper was cut at
4 3/4" x 4 3/4" and also scored every 1/4" using the Martha Stewart score board...the green paper was cut at 2 3/4" x 3 3/4".

I used the following Martha Stewart punches to make the images...branch punch and 3 in 1 hydrangea punch.  I used two shades of green cardstock for the branches and used white cardstock for the flowers.  I then colored the flowers using the following Copic markers...V93, V95, BV01, BV02,
B91 and B93.  The centers of the flowers are made using Liquid Pearls-Lavender Lace and Baby Blue.  All of this was then arranged on a strip of purple ribbon.

The sentiment was made using a stamp and Olive green ink and placed on the matted ovals.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by and having a look.  Kathie
