The Colour Purple

hello there,

It was my eldest grand daughter's 23rd birthday yesterday. How on earth did that happen? It's not possible seeing as in my head I'm still 35 :)
Anyway it seems I'm deluding myself as Charlotte is all grown up now so I made her a grown up card.

She's always loved the colour purple so that's what she got.
Hand painted ( smooshed) using Cosmic Shimmer paints in purple with a touch of blue here and there..
The die cut topper is by Sweet Dixie with a sentiment by Flourishes
The scrolls are by Papertrey stamped and embossed in gold EP. Some gold thread to tie it all together.

With hindsight I think I maybe should have made a wider border but I'm pleased with the result.

Thanks for popping in.

Simply Less is More #381

Hello there,

It's Lucky Dip time at Simply Less is More and this time we have been asked to case a DT card.

This is my take on the design,

I must admit this design looked better in my head than real life but I'm relatively pleased with it.

Dies are from, Marianne Designs,Sweet Dixie, & Nellie Snellen.
 Merry stamp is part of a set from  Waltzing Mouse.
I've added a smattering of tiny red gems.

We are decorating our hall, stairs and landing and it's taking forever. Almost finished and, hopefully I can get some more crafting in.
Thanks for popping in X
