Stuck on Purple

Another card for the Hero Arts monthly challenge. I had a lot of fun playing with inks and colours on this one. A while ago I had coloured some vellum with alcohol inks as seen here and I wanted to do something with them.

I stamped the image with purple pigment ink onto the coloured vellum and embossed with clear powder and because the vellum is translucent the pattern of the alcohol ink kind of shows through the embossing to give this cool mottled, marbled effect. Cool for me anyway.....    :) 
I finished the card with some paper punching, ribbon and pearls.
























Thanks for stopping by!
