Gorgeous

I'm just getting in under the wire to play along with STAMPlorations Bloomdala Bliss linky party!  I was this gorgeous image, and HAD to play along.  I mean, it's gorgeous!!

The hardest part of creating this card was deciding what color combo I wanted to use to color the image.  I finally decided on purples and aquas; such a pretty color combo.  I started with the lightest shades, worked up to the darker shades and moved back down to the lighter shades.  I love how it turned out!  I die cut the word "gorgeous" and stamped "Hello" to finish the sentiment.  And finished everything off with a few irridescent purple rhinestones.  I layered the panel on a dark purple card stock base.

Love, love, love how this turned out!!
