The Flower Challenge #54 Shades of Purple

 

It's time to remind you that you still have plenty of time to create florals in the beautiful Shades of Purple for The Flower Challenge!  My teammates have so many gorgeous cards - please check them out here - you're sure to be inspired!  
I surely was!

I've chosen bright shades of purple Distress inks for my reminder card - a lovely second try using this fabulous Altenew  Tranquility Rose layering stencils:



After all this masking, a bit of 'selective die-cutting' always makes me happy!

Beccy's Place is our sponsor for #54 - you're sure to find 
lots of wonderful digital floral images to make you happy there!

We can't wait to see more of your purple florals!

It just blows me away that this is a stencils, each time I see it I can't believe it. This card is stunning Michele! I love the shades of purple and while I don't dislike purple, it isn't one of my favorites. It sure is gorgeous on this rose though. Love the green leaves and the smooshed background. Just stunning, what else can I say?! Hugs, Brenda

I got that stencil before I left and never got to play with it, Michele. You've made me itch to get it out. I hope mine looks as lovely as yours.
