Pretty in Purple Lace

 Hello from design team member,  Heidi! I have a tone on tone purple card to share with you today.

I think this lace stamp is meant to be cut apart and each strip used separately, but I really thought it looked really nice for a background, so that is how I am using it.  I used eggplant purple ink on lavender cardstock.


Then I created my own matching texture look cardstock by swiping my inkpads over white cardstock and stamping my floral stamp over top using eggplant ink. Sometimes I don’t like to color, so what I did was fussy cut out my image, then I sponged around the edge with Distress ink.  Finally, I added some grey copic marker in certain parts of the image to add depth.  I really liked the way that looks.  





I finished my card by using some die cuts (that I also swiped ink over) with my flower over top. I like this pretty old fashioned card!

The stamps I used can be found in the I Brake for Stamps Store.

Your card is so lovely! I agree with you that using the lacy stamp as a whole background looks beautiful.
