I love creating cards that mimic a monochromatic look.
While shades of purple is not always my favorite combination, they sure are pretty all together.
I chose three shades; Pansy, Thistle and Eggplant.
I chose these colors of cardstock to highlight the "Lovely Layers" technique for this month's Blog Hop.
I used one of our newest stamp sets "Dandelion Wishes" for the adorable flower and the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment.
There are also 15 other Close to my Heart Consultants sharing there amazing artwork with you, so please be sure to make your way around the entire Blog Hop.

For this card I started out with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Eggplant cardstock card base.
I used a layer of White Daisy cardstock.
Then a layer of Pansy cardstock.
Then another layer White Daisy cardstock, in which the Dandelion is stamped on.
All of the layers of cardstock were distressed with Thistle Exclusive Ink.
Then a strip of Thistle cardstock under a piece of White Daisy with the sentiment stamped in Black and Thistle Exclusive Ink.
I popped the sentiment up on some of our 3-D Foam Tape.
Then a layer of Pansy cardstock.

The inside of the card has a layer of White Daisy cardstock, that has been distressed with Thistle Exclusive Ink.
Finally, I added just a few Silver Glitter Gems for embellishments.
