Purple Leaves


Remember the song Purple Rain?  Well, this is my card, Purple Leaves!  I really have ignored this season's In Colors and I wanted to remedy that, so I thought I would make a fall card using Fresh Fig and some other purple hues; purples are difficult for me, so this was a real personal challenge:


I started by stamping a bunch of the little leaf image from Colorful Seasons in different shades and diecutting them with their matching die.  I then put them in a Jar of Love jar, added a little lid, a tag and some linen thread:


Even though these may not be traditional fall leaf colors, I think they're so pretty!  I added a sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet and a leftover leaf on the inside of the Crumb Cake card, too:


Thanks for popping in today--enjoy and be blessed!

This is so neat and, of course, purple is my favorite! Orange and green is the most difficult for me and CAS. How's the house coming?

This is adorable and a perfect fall card. I really like the kraft card base with the fall colors too. Thanks for the inspiration.

I just don't know how you keep turning out such delightful cards! I love this one and now wish I'd bought this set. The paper is gorgeous but your fussy cut flower is just a stunner. Love the wee acorn too.
