The Color Purple

What a beautiful day!!  I have entered my card in the following Challenges:

Mark's Finest Papers Use 5 of Something

Joan's Gardens Challenge Weekly #13
Color - Deep rich purple
Embellishment - a Spellbinders Pendant - or a punch making a design
Cut out flower that you color
Punched Border
 
Penny Black Saturday Challenge Week 117
....a Colour Combo  PURPLE ...CREAM.....BROWN
 
 
I love Purple so this was a fun card for me to make. I used the Penny Black Stamp from the "Flower Gallery" set, colored with Atyou Spica pen set, my Big Shot for the Spellbinders
Pendants set "Lotus" which also gave me the scalloped border, Petite Scalloped Circles Small & the Small Oval  for my garage sale Sentiment.. I added the "5" Sparkles to the bottom and a Bow made with the Bow Easy..(love that thing)...

I love to have on hand a few cards to quick send to friends, especially the elderly ones who still "love to get mail".  Sometimes I think it sad so much is done on Facebook and in Emails and the little personal creative touch is GONE.. (but so is the saving of this card and that card all through the years).. ohhhhh..I have sooooooooooo many stashed away..its usually a "Snowy Day" project to glance through and remember all the fun people I've had in my life.

Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy what is left of the holiday weekend..we are off to a "Farm Field Plow Day" ....its a fall atmosphere, with big kettles of  stew, lots of homemade goodies and lots of neighbors throughtout  our county, just enjoying fall weather, and friendship.  So glad I moved back home!!!!
