Purples only

I haven't been crafting as regularly and often as I'd like this year. Whenever I struggle to get back to it I find it useful to play with sketches, and I often make more than one card using the same sketch.
For this card I made my own background, using a stencil from Finnabair and foil with a laminator.
The top panel was cut with a Penny Black antique frame die. The girl is a stamp from Prima, I tend to use only the legs on this stamp, but here I went with the upper body for a change. A stamped and die cut sentiment were added. Only purple colors were used.

This card is for:
The Paper Players - #547

    These purples are gorgeous and the shine and texture from the foil are so eye-catching! I love that you flipped the sketch to use the upper body of the stamp. Thanks for sharing at The Paper Players!
