Absolutely Fabulous--Color Throwdown #33

Time's flying and it's time for another Color Throwdown challenge--#33! This week's colors were chosen by Cathy Indelicato: Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise, and any green--I chose Certainly Celery. Also, it's time for our Guest Designer for March.
My base card is Whisper White with layers of Certainly Celery, Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery, and DP from the Euphoria 6 x 6 pad from Basic Grey. I really love Basic Gray DP, can you tell? I then tied a silky eggplant purple ribbon tied around and in a bow at the top. My focal image uses a stamp from Gina K.'s Botanical Dreams set which was stamped on Gina K. Pure Luxury 80 lb paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers (see below for colors used). It was matted with Elegant Eggplant and Certainly Celery, all of which had the corners punched with the ticket corner punch is popped up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment uses a stamp from PTI's Mixed Messages set and was stamped on more Gina K. paper with Memento Tuxedo black. It was punched with the small oval punch and layered on more ovals. A purple jeweled brad accents the sentiment element, which is also up on foam squares.

  3. Very pretty, Bar! I almost used the same DP, but I peeked and saw you had already used it, so I went a different route! Great minds think alike!
