Challenge #206 Lavender Lightning

I joined in on the fun over at As You See It Challenge with Challenge #206 Lavender Lightning. 

The challenge was to create a card using only purples and neutrals but with a twist. You had to set a timer for 10 minutes and that’s all the time you got. Yep...10 minutes. I came up with a design, got my supplies ready and thought for sure I could do it with a simple design. Nope. My first card attempt was a huge fail. I went over the 10 minutes and had to scrap the card and start over. I moved  faster on my second attempt and just barely made it with a minute to spare. Here’s my card. 

I made my card by stamping a floral image onto watercolor paper using clear emboss ink. Then I embossed the image with white embossing powder. I watercolored over the embossed image using distress inks in Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac. I stamped the sentiment on purple card stock and added a few clear sequins to give it a little sparkle. I adhered the card panel to white cardstock using foam tape. Even though the challenge was tough, it was a lot of fun.
