I love the ruffled emboss folder but it always reminds
me of siding on a house! In this case, it makes this card look cool!
I used the folder to emboss a piece of Gorgeous Grape and then layered
the Grape on a white base.
I cut a white stitched oval and popped it up on the Grape card stock.
I stamped the vase in Memento Tuxedo Black on Grape and same
ink with the leaves on Lemon Lime Twist. I used the matching punch called
Vase Builder to punch them out.
I stamped the sentiment on a black banner using the
VersaMark ink and white emboss powder to heat emboss it.
I finished it off with a Grape glimmer dot.
I like this clean and simple theme but since I do not have a plant
stamp it got me to think creatively.

Wow, Windy! I LOVE the Gorgeous Grape ruffled background. What a stunning card! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never used to be a big fan of purple, until Gorgeous Grape came along. This is so pretty, Windy! The ruffled background adds the perfect amount of subtle detail and the color just pops off the white card base. I really like the sentiment in white on the black cardstock as well. You have inspired me to get this set out today! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is sharp!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm loving all the purple!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to use Gorgeous Grape....I rarely use purples, but this stands out, especially with that cool EF! And your little plant is perfect!
