Courage

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations, and I've opted for monochromatic purple to create this beauty ....

... working with two of their most recent additions to the STAMPlorations Shop, the ARTplorations Stencil: A Bloom And Three Buds and their current Stamp Club set Life In Full Color.

I sponged my background using Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Inks and added the circles using my mini blending tool before lightly spritzing with water. Once dry, I stenciled my flower using Elegant Eggplant and shaving brush. I then stamped my sentiment using my MISTI first in Eggplant and then in white Craft ink before clear embossing. I really liked the effect as I didn't want my sentiment to be bold, more often than not it is the quiet courage, the little steps that bring about the desired change ....

I am linking up with:
The Hop To Stop - raising awareness about Domestic Violence, needs purple cards 

Please help turning Blogland purple. Here is another look at my card ....

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more inspiration and to leave a comment for your entry into their monthly prize draw.

That's it from me, I shall be back soon. Have a lovely week!
