I was in my local craft shop yesterday and saw some patterned papers that I just couldn’t resist!  Yes, yes, I know, they are not Stampin’ Up! papers, but they are just soooo beautiful, and I love the colours.  I do think Stampin’ Up! needs more purples in their colour range 🙂   So, I just had to sit down and make a card using them straight away. 🙂

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Patterned Paper from the Garden Arabesque range by Kaisercraft.

Accessories: Eyelet Border Punch, Paper Piercing Tool and Mat Pack, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Paper snips, Purple Brads from my own stash 🙂

Only a short post today, but we are busy getting a few things done today so that we can enjoy our three day weekend together as a family.

Hoping you can all get lots of stamping and scrapping done this weekend,

Chris
