Shades of Purple

Hello everyone!  Our humidity is gone, wonderful cool temps. So many people out enjoying it, walking, riding bikes and visiting our little park. Fun time with the 3 little ones, so a good nights rest is about to happen!!!

Done in shades of purple my card has floral background, some tattered edges,  a piece of tulle and an embossed, sanded circle with a pretty little butterfly and a piece of grey sparkly ribbon across the front.  A flower white button and 2 at the top. My photo is not a bright as the colors look in real life.

I used a sketch from The Ribbon Reel  Challenge #6

The color combo is for Welcome to Flourishes   Timeless Tuesday #127


It's a fun summery look, that inspired me. Love the grey wicker and the colors pop.
At the Ribbon Carousel  Challenge #12 is  "Button it Up"   and some ribbon, lace, twine etc
Sugar Creek Hollow   "Wing Things" and a little Vintage, Shabby or Primitive

All of these Challenges have some wonderful inspiration on their blogs by their DT's, take some time and enjoy all the great designs.
Thanks for stopping by my blogspot..and enjoy a wonderful weekend.
