Purple Haze

This month's challenge over at Jay Gee's Nook this month is certainly dear to my heart.... Look at this inspirational montage from Pinterest

 

Isn't this just the most amazing colour....  I ADORE Puprle.... it's my favourite colour... so much so my new glasses frames are purple!

So of course out came the Rose stamp again.  My previous purple roses card was made just one day too early for the challenge... so had to do another one. 

I recently bought some Hero Arts water colour paper.... what amazing paper.  I wet it thoroughly and added some watercolour paints in purple, red and gold.  Once this dried, I stamped the Frame stamp in Dusty Concord distress ink and the rose in black ink.  I used distress inks to colour I ( my favouritest  way to colour).  I stamped again onto a lighter weight of watercolour paper and colour and cut a rose and bud.  The sentiment is from a Kaisercraft set I got today.  I lightly sponged a white piece of card stock with Milled Lavender and then stamped in Dusty Concord with a Crackle stamp and edged the piece with the darker ink.   

Hope the week is going well for you... It seems to be flying by for me...  on the countdown to my back surgery... 16 days to go... 

Cheers
