Happy Sunday everyone - I hope your weekend has been a relaxing one!! I love Sundays for so many reasons and one of them is because it is time for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge - this weeks challenge is hosted by our dear Sistah Kristine
"They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him." MAIN VERSE: Mark 15:17
CONTEXT PASSAGE: See Mark 15: 16-20
Kristine has challenges us to use shades of purple as your main color AND/OR use wood paper or elements on your card.
It was time I inked up this fabulous set from Stampin Up, I was given as a gift for my birthday - so delish! I have used Tsukineko Imperial Purple on the flourish and Spanish Moss for the butterfly - such great tones in these inks
The background DP is embossed with the Stylised Flowers Embossing Folder and the green card stock with the Victoria EF - I love the added depth embossing adds - and of course the gorgeous lace - part of a RAK from my dear friend and SU Demo Ann
You can see the added layers and dimension here. I have used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur for cutting the Labels 4 and Classic Oval Nestibilities - where were we before we discovered Spellbinders - I love how their Die Cuts add instant 'gorgeousness' - in my opinion! LOL!
