Time for another color challenge for the PPA. The colors were definitely a challenge for me this week. But, I used them to create a 10th Anniversary Card for our daughter & Son-in-Law.
I chose to use Blackberry Bliss as my main color & use the Perfect Plum & Elegant Eggplant for accents. A flower from Flower Patch was stamped with Blackberry Bliss Ink on Perfect Plum Cardstock. After cutting one layer with the Flower Fair Framelits, I snipped 3 more layers & popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals on the base flower.
The heart border from Chalk Lines was stamped with Blackberry Bliss Ink on the Whisper White card stock layer. In addition, I stamped the sentiment from Project Life Remember This with Blackberry Ink on the same Whisper White cardstock.
The butterfly from Papillion Potpourri was stamped with Blackberry Ink on Elegant Eggplant cardstock. It was punched with the Bitty Butterfly Punch & adhered with a glue dot. The center of the butterfly is adorned with Basic Pearls.
A strip of 3/8" Stitched Blackberry Bliss Satin Ribbon provides an anchor for my flower. A touch of color is added to the flower with the leaves from Flower Patch which are cut with the Flower Flair Framelits. The leaf base is stamped with Pear Pizzaz Ink & the veins are stamped with Wild Wasabi Ink. A few random Pearls are placed around the card.
Hopefully you were able to take advantage of free shipping this week. If not, there is still time – no minimum required so it is a fabulous time to stock up on the necessities. Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack for even more bargains!

STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES USED:
Oh Ginger! This is such a lovely card! Nice Job!
Gorgeous and rich looking card. Your colors and technique are awesome!
That is right, your daughter’s anniversary is around the same as ours, I had forgotten. Gorgeous card and I love the colors together. The two greens add the perfect complement! My friend Steph is a purpleholic and would love this card. She just started a new job a couple of weeks ago so maybe I can use similar stuff and create something similar though it won’t be as wonderful as yours! Yours is plum perfect!
This card is so elegant looking. I love it. Those are some of my favorite colors too.
Love this card! Can’t believe that it has been ten years! Off to jury duty!
The flower on this card looks velvety. I’m shocked these three colors could make something like this, you are the master. Good job.
This is gorgeous! I love how you stamped the flower on cs. It really does look velvety.
Ginger your card is just ADORABLE!!! Love it!! The three shades of purple were certainly a challenge for me too!! LOL!! Fabulous job!!!
Ginger, this card is beautiful. I love every detail…especially the flower!
Great card Ginger. You did a lot of work cutting out the different layers of that stamp. The hearts and those little tiny stamps around the sentiment are just perfect additions.
Gorgeous Ginger! Love the white space. It’s such a great way to accent dark colors! Love it!
Beautiful Ginger! The flower looks life velvet.
your card is stunning. The blackberry stamped on plum is so bold that it makes me want to run to my stamps to try it. Wowie!
I’m in complete awe of all the cards this week and yours just gives off a feel of pure silkiness. It’s like liquid gold. =)
Ginger this card is just perfect! The flower is so pretty with the ink on the colored card stock. I’ve never thought of that but am definitely going to try it now!
On second look, the card is still gorgeous and such a piece of art!
Very pretty Ginger! The flower is lovely.
It’s the end of the catalog year, and I’m still finding great stamp sets that I never even noticed! I love how the Celebrate has those cute stars and dots!!! Geez that might have to go on my list!!!
