The awesomely talented Amanda Profumo of crafty paper girl is this weeks guest star and she provided us with this photo inspiration:
So pretty!! AND PURPLE!!! I guess I should say that the challenge IS VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS. :)
There is sooooo much purple on this card, I swear I'm channeling Jimi Hendrix! (click to hear Purple Haze HAHHA!!)
Can ya dig it?
I tried to pull out some fun elements: the snowflakes, the shimmer, the sheer lace, the fine detail (and, of course, the shades of purple) and put it together. Of course, due to my severe lack of photography skillz you can see absolutely none of the really cool stuff. You'll just have to trust me. You do, right? ;)
Hope that you're having a FABULOUS week!
