Purple Orient

This is a lovely fresh design using oriental influences.  The background is a panel of white card covered in a purple distress ink using a blending tool.  A floral stamp is spritzed with water and 'wet stamped' into the purple ink.  After a few seconds the wet image is blotted with kitchen towel, taking the ink off the card.  Repeat this all over the panel randomly.  The same image is then inked with the disress ink and stamped over the blotted images.  A piece of vellum is stamped and heat embossed with a bamboo image in purple powder, then attached to the background with 'invisi glue dots'.   The whole panel is then matted onto black card.   The same floral image is stamped in purple onto white card, heat embossed with clear powder, then coloured with H2O's.  The images are trimmed to make panels, and matted onto black card.  Black ribbon is placed down the center of the background panel, and the two focal panels are positioned on top giving the appearance of wall hangings.  The artwork is then attached to a base card.
