The Color Purple...

OK, so this card has NOTHING to do with "The Color Purple" the movie nor is the color purple used..lol. It is, however, my card for this week's Color Throwdown and this week we are sponsored by Purple Onion Designs! (See, I did have something purple in my head..lol)


They have some really cool stamps available and a fabulous gallery! Stop by and check it out!

This week's colors are the brainchild of Danielle and they are so neat together. A combination I would have never really thought of, but once I started working with them it was cool to see how well they really do fit together. Here are the colors:




Cool right? I thought so. I decided to use the Stems & Grass (#BF1) and Happy Birthday (#AM06) sets from Purple Onion Designs. I love how cleanly these rubber stamps stamp. I haven't used rubber in a while, but this was easy peasy to use! So, here is the card I created with these fab colors and stamps:




Look at the grass blowing in the wind..isn't that so cool? There are so many ways you could use that. It would also be perfect for a masculine card, I think.  While I was making this card, my mom came over and saw the font of the sentiment and wanted me to make her some birthday cards to have on hand with it. It's really different, something you don't see everyday.

Well, that's all I have. Be sure and play along with us this week and stop by and see what the other DT have created with this color combo!

Hey Keva! I love the layout on this card and you are so right, these colours do fit really well together. Hope you are enjoying your trip! :)

Just lovely, Keva!!! Love that simple layout--looks like the butterfly is fluttering over the grasses--fabulous design!

Oooooo!! I noticed that they stamped so cleanly too!! I was thinking it was because they are just red rubber and not backed on foam. I used them with double stick tape and I thought they were crisp! Love that! So I love love love your card. Choosing to display the grass they way you did is genius and that strip of dp really draws your eye in. It's lovely and I'll send you my addy so you can send it to me in August! HA!!!

This is so beautiful Keva! I love the grass stamped all along the bottom! It's a really lovely card!

Suzanne said...

What a beautifully simple layout. The grass is such a subtle way to fill the space while balancing the details at the top. Great job, Keva!

Dana said...

WOW. I absolutely ADORE this card Keva. Your mojo is working overtime girl! Many, many years ago I used to buy purple onion stamps regularly...haven't thought about them in years!
