That's a lotta Purple!!!

Good morning everyone!! I wanted to share a few of the cards I have been making for a friend. She took several pictures of her flowers and wanted some gift sets to give to her family. I tried to keep the designs pretty simple so the beauty of the picture was center stage. Almost Amethyst, So Saffron, and Lovely Lilac cardstock were used along with ribbons, Candy Dots, various punches and cuttlebug folders....Papertrey Ink's Communique Curves Sentiments was used for the sentiments.

Aren't Sue's pictures gorgeous!!!

Since I already had the Almost Amethyst and So Saffron out on my counter, I decided to use the left overs for my TLC Challenge card yesterday. Julie challenged us to make faux tiles:

Score the background into squares, stamp a background stamp on the side with the depression in the score lines, sponge around the scored blocks using an L shaped template so the ink doesn't color the score lines.

This was new to me so I really enjoyed creating this little garden. The Rubbernecker Wild Garden Frame was stamped onto Almost Amethyst with Elegant Eggplant and the tiles were sponged with Almost Amethyst. The ribbon, button, twine, and butterfly with vellum and Liquid Pearls finished it off.

Thanks for visiting today....I hope you have a great Tuesday!!!
