Good afternoon to you all out there in blogland! Today is the start of another challenge at One Stitch at a Time - our theme this fortnight is anything goes with purple - such a tricky one for me ;o) I did add a little bit of aqua with my purple though - naughty moi! My last card for OSAAT was purple as well - my hand had just hovered over the purple pens and card - what can I say - I have no shame!!!
Of course my geraniums in the garden are red - or variations of red - but I have chosen a hybrid one that is purple (and is growing freely on Planet Susie)! Anything slightly off kilter is usually found on my Planet, as my friends already know!
Ingredients
7" x 7" White Card Blank from Anna Marie Designs
Digi image - 'Greek Window' - Ike'sArt - Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet
Papers - 'Timeless Victoria' pad - LOTV
Spellbinders Dies - Flowing Floral die
Cottage Cutz Dies - Sweet Love Bird Cage die
Plain purple/aqua card - stash
Copics/Flexmarkers

I know there's loads of you out there who lurve purple so I do hope you can join in, the prize is well worth trying for and you have two weeks to create something wonderful and enter the challenge. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Here's the prize pack
Apologies for this somewhat short post but I am on antibiotics at the moment for an infection and the bloomin' things are causing heartburn which is most uncomfortable - sorry didn't mean to whinge!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, take care and thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog today - you are all such wonderful blogsters!
Lots of hugs to you all
