Radiant Orchid Mixed Media Card

  

 

 

  

Pantone has announced that its 2014 color of the year is Radiant Orchid.  Well I have to admit, purple is not usually my first choice, but I do think the color makes a powerful statement when used properly.  So I thought I would use this opportunity to challenge myself.

 

When I feel like I'm in a rut, I love to use things that I don't normal use - like radiant purple. It helps to stimulate my creativity and gives me a fresh perspective. 

 

I created this dragonfly card using some old Prima product and a few mixed media techniques.   Something old with something new is always my plan for eliminating clutter!  Back at Christmas time I shared with you my new love for glitter nail polish on embellishments.  Isn't it gorgeous on these flower centers? 

 

Tomorrow I will share with you a video tutorial on how I created the dragonfly with the Die-Namites flowering tree die. 

If you decide to create with these colors, please share your projects with me on Facebook.  I would love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping in today!
