OSAAT DT - CHALLENGE NO 229 - ANYTHING GOES WITH PURPLE !!!!!!


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
'Just Because' stamp - LOTV
Flowers - WOC
Ribbon - Create and Craft
Stardust Stickles

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
