I'm playing in a "new to me" challenge called The Card Concept which I saw on Marybeth's blog.
Challenge #9 is to be inspired by THIS photo:
and use monochromatic purple in one of the Design Team member's styles.
What a FUN Challenge this was!
I think my card fits the "Classy and Elegant" style:
Here is a close-up of the roses I rolled and the wooden butterfly I painted purple:
I just LOVE making these roses!
I actually made this card for the Grandmother of the newspaper reporter who wrote the article about my craft room. She wanted to buy a card from me and I told her "No Way!" She was so SWEET and wrote a story that brought me to tears (talking about my parents who passed away).
So she showed up at my door with THIS bag:
From Gigi's Cupcakes
And inside:
were these YUMMY cupcakes! Wow! Thanks!
Even before I knew about the cupcakes, I told her I also wanted to make a Mother's Day card for her Mom so she told me her Mom loves leopard print and turquoise! A challenge for me!
Here is what I came up with:
The flower even had fur on it!
I hope they like their cards!
I sure liked the cupcakes! LOL! So did my DH!
