Karen's Doodles - Perfect Purples

Afternoon Peeps.  I have had a lovely day with friends.  We went to two Craft Shops and also had lunch out, it made a nice change.  It has been so hot here the past three days and it is now thundering and lightening and also pouring of rain.  OH had just put the evening bread out for the birds and it started.  Of course it is now soggy wet and in a nice pulp.  Trust him to put it out early because he happened to be out there and he thought it would save a job for later.


My card today is for KAREN'S DOODLES CHALLENGE which is "PERFECT PURPLES" this week.  My digi image is of course from KAREN'S SHOP , it is called "Shower Lady".  The colouring medium is Promarkers.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The image and sentiment have been cut and mounted using S4-161 "Labels One" die by Spellbinders.  The dp is from "Floral Paper Stack" PP003 by Wild Rose Studio.  For the embossed band I have used "Swiss Dots" embossing folder by Cuttlebug.  The flowers are "Handcrafted Roses" AC0121V Colour Connection by Craftime.
