Predominantly Purple

The challenge from the ladies at Less is Moreis to make a card that is predominately purple. This is not a colour that I use a lot but I decided to do something that was really simple and it only took me a few minutes.
I used Perfect Plum cardstack as a base, scored two lines at the bottom of the card. Stamped it in Whisper White using the lovely hostess stamp Simply soft, softened the edges with my blender pen and then stamped the sentiment in white using Curly Cute.

As you can see really easy but quite effective

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
