Purple Hydrangea


I need to add to my thank-you card stash, so I made this card with a MFP hydrangea image and sentiment. I colored the flower with Copics, adding some speckles and splatters with lavender ink, some stickles to the flower centers, and a piece of purple twine. The edges were sponged and distressed, then I placed this on a smoky purple cardstock base.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

MFP Stamp Challenge #17 - use the color purple as your main color.


Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!

  14. This is pretty. I really like that it is tied with real twine (you know instead of a imaginary twine.... lol, I mean a stamped version).
