Purple, Silver and White for Merry Monday

Good Merry Monday morning.


We have a great challenge this week from Debbie.


This was actually the 2nd card I did.

I had a sheet of purple Origami paper that I decided to sacrifice use from my hoard.

It has a bit of a textured foil look.  You can see on the solid ornament.

I stenciled a flourish to "hang" the ornament from by
sponging Encore silver metallic ink through the stencil.

I used the last bit of foil (it had ornaments cut from the middle) to
add a thin layer behind the design piece.

Here's the first card.


I had it all made and set to post then looked closer at the challenge.

Oops! That said silver not gold!

Fortunately I had just enough of that gorgeous purple paper to do
another card using silver.

CAS Mix Up


I have used Stenciling, Stamping, Heat Embossing and Die-cuts


Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge




I hope you'll pull out your purple, silver and white and join us at

Merry Monday

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    Ah! So very regal with the purple (a color I seldom think to use). It is most elegant as you've used on the ornament. I do like the look of the warmer gold, but it looks stunning in silver too. Brilliant idea to stencil the flourish hanger too..lovely design. I'm so glad you had enough of the paper to create a 2nd one that met the criteria. Two beauties for your 2016 Christmas Stash! TFS & Hugs

    It's positively purpley gorgeous in both silver and gold, Bonnie! I love the design with the flourish from the stencil!! Funny that we both went retro with our posts, me with the mesh and you with the Origami paper. I've got a pack of that around here somewhere, too! Hugs, Darnell
