I challenged myself and some friends this week to use purple on our creations. I could not have picked a harder challenge for myelf! I think it didn’t turn too bad paired with the kraft and white. The inspiration was the wonderful lilacs when they are in bloom in the Spring. I love the look and the smell!

this is simply stunning! (I, too love lilacs) I love the purples and the flower layers and the stampin on the kraft – fabulous card!
Purple is hard for me, too. This is a lovely combo, though. Beautiful.
Love the sparkly purple paper. I’m just the opposite. I’m a purple freak and have a hard time NOT using purple on nearly everything I make. I’m a firm believer that blues are purples in training and all other colors are purple wannabe’s lol
