Looking back over my projects, I came to the realization that I always use the same colors. Chocolate Chip anyone?? I’m trying to branch out, and Purple is branching WAY out for me. I may have made 3 purple cards in my lifetime. I can’t think of any of them right now, but I’m guessing I had to make at least that many in the 3 years I’ve been doing this!
Here, I used 2 purples–I know, crazy! The card base is Pale Plum. I cut a piece of Pale Plum 4″x5 1/4″ and ran it through the CB using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Then, I adhered it to the card base using dimensionals with the raised side down. Sometimes those raised bumps gross me out a little. This way is much less creepy for me!
The image is from Crazy for Cupcakes stamped in Black Stazon on watercolor paper. I “watercolored” with my Markers (see my favorite tutorial here) and used White Liquid Applique on the cupcakes to frost them. I just applied the Liquid Applique and let it dry overnight. If you heat set it, it will puff up like marshmallow. The watercolor paper is layered with So Saffron card stock and Perfect Plum. I paper pierced the corners and tied a piece of Perfect Plum 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon around the base.
