Double D Challenge Shades of Purple


Purple is my favorite color and this inspiration board is full  of purple lusciousness that Darlene put together for this challenge. I took my inspiration from the colored material in different shades of purple.  Purple, however, is a hard color to photograph especially when one is camera challenged.

Prize for the challenge.



The dark purple looks black  and some of the pale  lavender looks white or pink.
                                              

 I started with a Tim Holtz die cut in dark purple. I cut it again in vellum and stamped and embossed the music staff in white. I backed that with apiece of lavender card embossed with Tim Holtz brick pattern. I used a Sue Wilson die cut in dark purple  and topped that with a Sue Wilson sentiment. I framed the entire piece with a pale lavender frame. Then I built my flower spray with some ribbon, Wild Iris flowers and Frantic Stamper ferns. 

The Double D team outdid themselves for this challenge and you are going to find amazing inspiration on the Double D Challenge Board.

  4. This is another ravishing card as only you can do. You have splendid texture and design on this one. I do love purple, but agree that it is hard to photograph. Hint: I used my Ipad to take a picture instead of my camera and the color seemed better.

  9. WOWZA This is beautifully AWESOME!! I too LOVE the flower cluster and the various shades of purple you've incorporated! Yes, I too have difficulty photographing my purple designs (mine always turn out blue) ... but one of these days I'll sit down and read my camera instructions and hopefully figure it out. Something to do with the 'white' setting ... whatever! No time today lol ... yours is gorgeous no matter what shade it looks. HUGS

  10. Oh, I love purple. And, I love the design you made for the challenge. And, I know photos can be deceiving but I think yours is showing the colors fairly well so we get the idea. Sometimes taking a photo depends on the light source too.
