Love Victorian Style

Happy Saturday, crafty friends! I have been in one of my card-making frenzies over the past week or so and I want to share one of the ones I made before I started my new job on Monday. This lovely lady is one of Rick St. Dennis' beautiful digi stamps, called "Valentine Hat" but as that holiday has already passed, I decided to do her in purple. I have been on a bit of a purple kick lately. In fact, the card that I'm posting tomorrow for Kenny K has a lot of purple in it too.

The image is, of course, colored with Copic markers. I'm not sure why it looks so much purpler (is that a word??) in the first photo than in the others because the color in the other pictures is a more accurate representation.  

The background paper is from a K & Company collection called Geo Floral. 

As you can see, I have not yet put a sentiment on the inside of the card so that it can be customized for the person who will receive it. I used the same DP and cut ovals out of white paper for the sentiment and a place to write a personal message to the recipient.  I used Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalk Ink in Very Berry to stamp the flourishes and in Purple Passion to edge the ovals. The "Just Because" is a stamp from the WOW stamp set called "Everyday Sentiments" and the label was made with a Spellbinders die.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

I hope you're getting to do something creative this weekend. Until tomorrow, my friends...

Happy crafting!
