What a challenge! I love color, so this was really tough for me. My first instinct was to go w/ gold, silver or red for the one ink color. Then I thought, I'll go w/ a royal purple just for a change.
The JustRite image was stamped twice w/ the violet ink and I used a Spellbinders circle nesties set to cut three circles. I did run the ink pad around the edges, but I don't think that counts as coloring. Hope not, anyway.
I cut a pendant and four extra fleur de lis out for the corners. The bg was embossed using a CB ornamental iron folder. I used my Scor-It to add an embossed border. Liquid Pearls were added on top in various areas. Finished card measures 5 x 5,
Thanks so much for looking! I'll get the close ups on my blog in a few. The Write Stuff
