I clear embossed the Leafy Vine then used 4 distress inks to do a resist technique, inking from light to dark down the card. I had the purple lace sitting on my desk and it was just what I needed. I stamped the sentiment in Archival ink. I'll add a Happy Birthday inside.
This card is being entered into a couple of challenges
City Crafters Challenge. ~ Inspired by a song - "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendricks
and Hero Arts monthly challenge ~ Spring
We are off to the beach this weekend... delivering a claw foot bath for our friends. They will be setting it up in the yard to have an outdoor bath area. They intend to have some gas heating so they can have a nice hot bath outdoors.
I have a great post set up over at Die Cut Divas for tomorrow (USA PST) ~ we have an awesome guest designer!!!! Do pop over and have a look. Here's a little sneak peek of one of the cards our guest has designed.

Hello Dawn
Ombre... French word for shading.
Your values and tones of Purple (your fav colour)has created an elegance on this card.
A blend of the excitement of Red and the tranquillity of Blue. It is radiant, and I love how you have made the flower to. It has wonderful movement created by your White embossed Bg, very pleasing to the eye.
Smiles:)
