Purple Mood

For some reason, I am in the mood to play with purple inks, ribbon, paper and other goodies. So here is my very purple card for the evening, I can't decide if I like it or not, but it does look better in person than it does in this picture. The stamp is from the CTMH set Butterfly Kisses. I have had this set for a while and used the butterfly from the set but have never used the dragonfly before. The inks are also CTMH. See, I am still working on my self challenge of using the stamps and things that I have on hand! The ribbon is also from the stash and the rhinestones were in a gift bag from Judy that she gave me for my birthday. To make the dragonfly shimmer, I used a Sakura glitter pen.

I have been working the past several days on our downstairs room, trying to get it ready to set up differently. Kip and I have been married for three and a half years and there are still boxes down there from when I moved into the house. When two people in their thirties with complete households get married, there is a lot of stuff! We literally had two of everything. It was harder than I thought to move into a house that was already set up. At first it was hard to get rid of a lot of my stuff, but now I am over it! I want the additional crafting space! Have a great night everyone!

Love the shimmer on the dragonfly & in the ribbon :)

Isn't it funny how quickly you can get rid of stuff if it means more crafting space!! I have all of these books for teaching that I 'had to have' - look out eBay because I'd love the room & money for stamps :)

It's very pretty! I have some cards that look better in person so I know what you mean. Your card looks good to me though.
