Purple flower card

I wanted to make a birthday card for my friend Tanya's birthday. Only problem is that her favourite colour is purple and that's a colour I rarely use, so I didn't have any pattern paper I could use. So it was time to "think outside the box" and try some of those techniques I had been wanting to try :) First of all I used a stamp (yay- finally got to ink it up!) to create the cream background, I then layered that onto punched light purple borders.  I had a few ideas for the focal point - punched / 3D flowers, quilled flower, tag, but decided to try a stamped flower image - LOVE it!   I finished the card off by adding some twine and a button and adhering it onto a dark purple card base.
