Getting back to my card:
It's purple! Now I do love the color purple but the color rarely makes it on my cards or scrapbook pages so I am happy I was able to use it today.
I followed the sketch pretty closely and was going to stick to a monochromatic color scheme but I changed my mind when I got to the border. I thought the border of just cardstock and the heart border punch looked a bit plain so I happened to grab some green ribbon and wow it looked so much better that I decided to add green as an accent color and added a dark green butterfly with some gold pearls.
For the focal point I stamped the image with black ink and used a nestability die to die cut and emboss the white cardstock.
I used the dusty concord distress ink to ink the edges of the oval die cut and some of the other edges. When I went to put the focal image on the card it looked too plain and small so I added the green scalloped oval behind it and then the card looked finished.
Anyway it looks done to me. I even tried to think of something else to add but for the life of me I couldn't come up with anything. My style is pretty much simple and clean so I was afraid of over doing it. What do you think? Should I have added something more?
I love the feeling of peace your card evokes with it's soft color palette.
