Stampin’ Up! Purple Posy – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 39

Hello everyone, I'm back for another week for the Art With Heart Teams Colour Creations Showcase using Purple Posy. This colour is such a lovely soft purple/lilac and so feminine so I really love it. The cardstock is available but Stampin' Up! have decided not to produce the ink colour due to it not meeting their quality standards. Purple Posy goes very nicely with the another shade of purple which is Highland Heather and that I have used for my card today.

For this card the base card is Purple Posy, layered with Old Olive and then  Hydrangea Hill DSP.  It has some lovely colours including the purple tones as well as soft blues. The hydrangea flower posy was also fussy cut from this DSP and I have added leaves using dies from the Forever Fern and Magnolia Memory bundles in Highland Heather and Old Olive cardstock.

The birthday greeting is from the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle, which I can't wait to play with next (hopefully!), and stamped in Highland Heather ink colour. It was then cut using a die from Tasteful Labels set. That stamp set and the Hydrangea Hill DSP are both found in the January - June Mini Catalogue.

To finish I added some Gorgeous Grape Sheer ribbon tied with Whisper White Twine which are both found in the Mini Catalogue.  I have also added some Opal Rounds to the card for some sparkle as these have opalescent glitter through them.
