Less is More - Berry Colours

Hi all, I'm sharing my little make today for this week's new Less is More challenge, to use Berry colours. Now, I love berry shades, especially deep purples and raspberry reds, and once I start creating with them, I can't stop!

For this card, I used some scraps left over from another project, which I still need to blog, and my new dies from MFT (available at Dies to Die for) Blueprints 20. I actually cut and assembled 7 of these mini quilts, and found it very therapeutic, like an extended jigsaw puzzle!

The main body of the quilt was made using some background paper I had made using a Visible Ink stamp, Flower INKcognito, clear embossed, then spritzed with some Deco Art paint sprays in Purple and Primary Magenta  for an embossed/resist technique.


As the  background card had already been made last week, all I needed to do was cut and assemble.


The raspberry mat was also cut using a cross stitched rectangular die, also from the Blueprints 20 die set. I added some purple twine and a deep purple button, and the sentiment is from Uniko Studios,  All Occasion Sentiments #1, stamped in Hero Arts new Ombre ink pad in 'Lilac to Grape Purple'.

I stopped short of adding any further bling or glitter, but it's difficult for me haha! I love the bling!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Pauline

What a lovely cluster of rich berry shades on your patchwork, and still lots of lovely white space remaining.
Thanks for sharing with us.
