The colour Purple!

Hi Folks, Nah it's not the book, good as it was it wouldn't make a great card LOL
Over at LIM Chrissie and Mandi have challenged us to produce a predominantly purple card neither Chrissie or Mandi would choose a purple card, which begs the question why choose it, LOL But I'm a happy bunny because purple is a fantastic colour although I don't remember ever making a card  in purple before. Here is my offering...........

My ink is Tim Holtz Seedless Preserve, I love this new colour it's from the fall LTD Edition, gorgeous!
Stamp is Elusive Images from yonks ago but another favourite. I may need to have another bash at this challenge.
I hope you have had a good weekend, Gay x

    Gay, this is THE MOST FABULOUS card. Your inking is amazing and the spots of water look superb! Great stamping and terrific choice of images!
    I think you may have gathered that I love this one!
    Thanks so much

    Wowzers Gay this is gorgeous! When I did a lot of quilting there was a range of fabric with the splodges on in all the colours and it was just wonderful to use, called Fossil Ferns I think. I think you just reproduced it and went one better, LOVE this.
