The Color Purple....

Hi all! Happy Thursday! It's time for another Impression Obsession DT Challenge and this one will have you thinking about The Color Purple! That's right, this is a color challenge folks and the color - the only color is purple! The challenge starts today and continues through next Wednesday. Winner... gets a $25 gift certificate to the IO store! What fun! 

On to my creation!

When I saw it was the color purple, I knew I had to color up these darling Pansies. I used just a few Copic markers to color it up - the pansy was colored with BV000, BV000, BV02, Y13, Y08, B00, BG10, B0000, YG21, YG23, YG25 and shaded with Y21 and Y0000. The paper is a mix of Memory Box. Add a little gold stitching, a lush ribbon, a fun sentiment (It's Your Birthday) matted on a die cut shape (Spellbinders Blossom Die  that I cut thanks to my Grand Calibur) and... ta da!!!! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I have to say while the layout isn't exact, I was influenced by this week's Mojo Monday sketch! 

You can click HERE for all the IODT challenge details! Before you go running off, remember to stop my some of the other IO Gals' blogs to see what fun they had with this fabulous color!





Thanks for stopping by everyone -- love the comments you leave, they make me smile! ;-) See you back here soon!

p.s. Impression Obsession is hosting another challenge over on the Touch Twin Markers blog. The challenge was to use a floral! Check it out HERE! Winner gets a set of 12 markers!

How did you know I needed pretty PURPLE inspiration tonight? And the furnace is running and it's about 40 degrees and raining outside, so the summer-y pansies are super appreciated. LOVE that patterned paper! I must remember your circle on the blossom sentiment - love that, too. It's a bit of a walk from my computer to my studio, so I could forget, especially if I get sidetracked by dust bunnies or something (Mom's coming to visit on Saturday, so it's gotta be ship-shape). Ok, want to look at a few other blogs (but you are always FIRST, sweetie) and have a few ideas floatin' around my noggin'. Are you sure you like my long-winded ramblings? Happy ALMOST Friday!
