Victorine Originals Challenge #8 - Purple

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

Today... starts another FUN Challenge over at: 

Victorine Originals

 YAY! I know how you

guys enjoy a good Challenge!

Our Challenge is PURPLE - 

 You can follow the Theme or Use the inspiration photo
or Use the color combo all use all 3!!! You don't have to use
a stamp from Victorine Originals if you don't have one!


All the rules for this fun challenge are RIGHT HERE!

Here's what I created to inspire you --

I know I've mentioned this before... I don't use purple on my

cards... but I've noticed this past year that I've made several cards

using this color. It has been a challenge for me to try and use it more and

I think I'm doing pretty good. I decided to make 2 cards using the 

BEAUTIFUL Black-Eyed Susan Bellamy Stamp

This stamp is another floral stamp that I just adore from

Victorine Originals - 

I chose to do the "Smooshing Technique" which is where you

add your distress inks to a clear acrylic block, then spray

it with water. Flip it over onto the water color paper.

I chose to leave it sit for 5 minutes which is how I got the bold

purple colors on the one card. I let the other card sit for a little less time.

Which gave it a more softer look.

I also added some of my Sparkle Shimmer Mist Spray 😁

It's so sparkly when you see it in person!

 After waiting for them to dry, I heat embossed the 

flower using versamark ink & white embossing powder.

Die cut the Prayers word out in Fun Foam & colored Cardstock

Added some (New to Me) Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's cards

I like that both cards are a bit different from each other

& yet the same.
