Purple has been my favorite color for forever - I even persuaded my dear husband to paint our house purple in Washington - but it is a color I rarely turn to when paper crafting.
For my card, I did stick mostly to shades of purple with a little aqua thrown in for interest.
I used a similar sentiment to Therese and hope my cascade of snowflakes passes the test. Technically these are part of a flower stamp set, but I think they can pass for a modern snowflake.
I used a glitter pen on the sentiment and the centers of the snowflakes for a little frosty sparkle.
When I saw the CASology Week 70 Cue Card was Triangle, the first image that came to my mind was this trio of holiday trees.
After stamping the image, I used markers to color in the ornaments. Glossy accents gave them a little shine & dimension.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
These are both wonderful! I love your funky snowflakes (they'd be good as fireworks, too!) and the colour choice! Thanks for joining us at Muse this week!
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are wonderful Jacquie, those modern snowflakes rock!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great. I think those snowflakes are so retro and something my oldest son would love....even if they really came from part of a flower stamp. :-) Very pretty card...love the purples.
