Morning crafters, hope today finds you all safe and well, lots of hugs to those who are not. Thank you for visiting me today its so good to have you here, if you have a blog of your own then please do leave a comment with the link and I will return the favour.

Well  only another two weeks to go before we break up for half-term. This year is sure moving fast!

I am in Purple mode at the moment so the next couple of posts are definitely Purple lol!!!

I started by gluing together two sheets of Centura Pearl Ivory card to make an 8"X8" size base card. I matted and layered this up with Deep Plum card and more Ivory card as seen.

I found this sheet of Purple patterned paper but not sure whether I got it from Tattered Lace CD or where but I thought it was pretty. I wanted to put a Lace pattern on it so I used the mask Classic Lace, I inked up the stencil with my versamark ink pad positioned this on the paper then heat embossed with White embossing powder, unfortunately once dry the paper rippled up a little, I used glue to stick it on the card when I should have used tape this would have probably kept it flat but never mind we all learn by our mistakes. I will try and put some glue under the curves and flatten it a bit more.

I die cut Sue Wilson Italian Collection Calabria and Vienna from her Austrian Collection, inking the Vienna die cut with Shaded Lilac and stamping the sentiment with Seedless Preserve before matting and layering them on top of the card as seen. I kept it all flat for posting.

There you have the finished card.
