Waltzingmouse Stamps October Blog Party


 A very warm welcome this evening as it's the 17th its Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party time...yeah
It's a  theme this month of Purple, Orange and Black
Well i must admit i was a wee bitty challenged with these colours
 because i don't really do Halloween cards
I wanted to create a non Halloween card and this is what I came up with....


 I have used Pic Nic Patterns and stamped the background stamp using
Perfect Plum by Stampin Up...Old Olive for the leaves and Perfect plum again for the flower heads
I popped the middle flower up for dimension and effect.
With love sentiment is also Waltzingmouse stampe in black versafine
Clearly Besotted Butterfly Wishes butterfly is stamped in perfect plum and then cut out..

so there we have it...hope ya like...i can't wait to see what you have created this month :)
 I have decided to make a lot of changes and cut backs in my life starting with the amount of time i spend on Facebook...that time can never be gotten back..hours can be spent just doing nothing really and I'm not enjoying it anymore to be honest....I will still be blogging :) Happy dance

I've been at the theatre today in Glasgow to see "Singing in the Rain"
 very apt as it has been torrential all day lol!

Thanks for stopping by....much appreciated!

I love that you didn't make a Halloween card, the colors are beautiful with the sweet flower scene you created and the patterned paper you created on the bottom. Great job.

Ali, this is such a pretty card and I love the colours together...I'm like you I don't make halloween cards so it's really nice to see these colours used in a different way.

I adore pic-nic pattern - so useful, and I think your purple flowers are just fab. Like the orange gem centres!
