Purple frippery

 I am planning a day if inkiness ... got a tag and card to make, but I thought that I would participate in this week's Less is More as purple is my favourite colour!

 I used elements of Waltzing Mouse Stamps Victorian Frippery sets and stamped the elements onto coredinations cardstock using SU eggplant ink.  I cut the border out to replicate lace.  I added a button to the centre of the fancy circle as it looked a bit bare.  And that is really it.  I will add a sentiment when I know who i am going to send it to.

 Challenges:
Less is More - predominately purple
Waltzing Mouse Sketches - sketch
