Purple And Gold, Really!

Morning all!  Straight away I'm going to say, I like these colours together!  I think it may spark a debate among the comments that are left, but they work for me.  Every once in a while you just need to let yourself go, step outside of your comfort zone and have a play with something new.  These were new for me, no playing it safe with teal here!  I chose a predominantly gold background, using various backing papers that I had in my stash ( the eagle eyed among you will no doubt spot the houndstooth in there!)  I picked out two shades of purple, one slightly darker than the other.  I used the Samantha Walker Antique Frames and Accents and cut the frame in both shades of the purple.  I nipped off the very top part of the frame, making it more of a rectangle shape.  I layered up the two of them but turned them in the opposite ways and glued them on top of each other.  Since the pattern does not line up this way, it shows bits of both colours as you can see in the pic below.  I stamped my sentiment and then cut it out using the same frame, but I discarded the frame this time and just used the sentiment.  Mounting it inside the Antique frames using 3D foam.  I tied some Rivera Lilac vintage ribbon going both up and down and across my card meeting and tying a messy bow. n I cut a circle out of some gold felt and made a spiral flower for the centre of my bow.  I added some foliage pieces to either side of it.

 I glued three gold glints in the bottom corner and used my Cosmic Shimmer gold PVA glue to add dots around my focal element and the entire edge of the card.   How do you feel about the colour, still not sure or loving it!  All for now, Sue x
