SSNOTIME135*** A COLOR CHALLENGE


ETA: My card is 5" x 5"...

A STAMP SIMPLY COLOR CHALLENGE***














Sharon loves color challenges and I do too!! Sharon's STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE this week is to use Purples, Lavenders, Browns and Ivories. What a beautiful combination of colors.

My card is a thank you card for friends who very graciously fed us a fabulous meal and gave us a place to lay our heads when we were in Rhode Island.


The card base is ivory PTI cardstock, brown mat from PTI and Purple cardstock from my bit bin... I roughed up the edges on all the pieces and used Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord distress inks on the smaller piece of ivory cardstock before I stamped the image (which is from Inkadinkado) in Vintage Sepia ink with a little glitter thrown in for good measure.




The ribbon is from Sharon's store!! Gorgeous royal purple and ivory silk ribbon...



Check out all the details at Sharon's site HERE and link up your colorful creation to Mr. Linky!
