Amethyst with the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

Good morning to you all

okay after all that excitement you just want to see I am sure, so here it is but don't forget to hop over and see the rest of those beautiful creations to inspire you.

 

I don't have much in the line of purples in my stash, not normally a colour I favour but after a good old rummage I found quite a bit.

 So I went with Amethyst and white with a little lavendar thrown in.  The base layer is a deep purple, the papers I am sure you will recognise as I cannot remember.  I used a Marianne die I won to frame the image, a nestie I bought from my Teamie Christine, a Joy edge butterfly die, some flowers from stash and those pearls, frantage, pearl heart and pearl medallion from the Hobby House.

The bow for those that are interested, the ribbon came from Lidl, I adore their gift ribbon it holds its shape perfectly, so sits so beautifully as a triple bow.

A clos up of the image coloured in copics, he is hiding his head slightly in shame for mucking her up with the soil :)
