I seem to have lost some mojo over the weekend and so I hopped over to Clean & Simple Stamping and Color Throwdown for a little jumpstart. Boy am I so glad I did! I'm combining the challenges for today. This week the colors are Lovely Lilac, Elegant Eggplant, and Old Olive - I am so surprised how lovely they look together! I don't think I've touched Lovely Lilac since someone had a special order for it a long time ago. The sketch is FTL43 and it's a lovely one (well, they are always awesome!).I stamped the flower from Eastern Blooms in Lovely Lilac and then colored sections of it with my Elegant Eggplant Stampin' Write marker. To add a little dimension to the flower, I added some rhinestones and Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to the center. I just used a tiny dab of Tombo Multi Adhesive to add the Tiny Twinkles to the flower.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI must be brave and try eggplant (of the "Elegant' variety) myself hahaha. See... I can always count on you to inspire me.
