Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – Colour Inspiration

Hello, how are things?

Note: This post did appear briefly last Friday but unfortunately due to technical difficulties the challenge could not go live until today. Technology! Don’t you just love it!! L

So I’m here today (finally) with my DT card for the new challenge starting over on the Chocolate, Coffee and Cards blog and our theme this time is a gorgeous Colour Inspiration.  Not too tough for me as this is my favourite colour palette. I am a bit of a purple girl it has to be said.


We are sponsored this time by the amazing A DayFor Daises who have the most remarkable, ethereal images you could possibly imagine which you can check out here. 


Each of the DT was blessed to be able to choose their own image to work with and after quite a while I managed to whittle it down to around 20! However I finally chose to use Braid in my Hair
available here. I think she is simply stunning! I hope I have been able to do her justice.

The photo seems to make the purples look a bit blue I'm afraid!
I printed my image onto super smooth card, coloured with Promarkers, and then cut her out using Spellbinders 5x7 Elegant Labels 4.  I added a liberal sprinkling of lilac Frantage and cut some small flowers and foliage with dies from Tattered Lace.  I tied an organza ribbon bow and added some flat backed pearls from my stash.



Please come and join us over at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards here it is a fab challenge.  And while you’re there you won’t fail to be inspired by all the awesome cards created by my team mates!

Thanks so much for looking!
See ya!

Colourful hugs!
Jane xx
