SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW CHALLENGE - SHOW ONE COLOUR...ANY COLOUR

Hi everyone!


I wasn't sure if I was going to have time to make a project for this week's
Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge...but...I did...yeah!
This week's challenge was Show One Colour...Any Colour.

I chose purple for my project.  I thought that it would be simple to make a card using just one colour. As it turns out, in making this card, I had to make sure that the tones of purple that I picked could be blended and contrasted in a pleasing manner. Therein lay the challenge.

HERE IS THE CARD THAT I MADE USING SHADES OF PURPLE

I always say..."You can never have too much bling", so I chose a glitter paper for the base of the card.  The paper is from Craft n Craftin' and is lavender cardstock. 

I used some miscellaneous ribbon and threaded it through the birdcage to give the card some dimension.  I put the bird on top of the birdcage and folded its wing back to add some more dimension to the card.  In order to make the bird stand out on the card, I used a dab of Helmar's Liquid Scrap Dots on the back of the bird. 

I wanted to give the sentiment a personal feel, so I used a purple Gelly Roll pen to add the sentiment to the tag at the top of the card.   The finishing touches were the flower and button at the bottom of the birdcage.  These were from my stash. 

I hope you enjoyed viewing my project.
