It's another one of those Thursdays when I have a DT card to post for
where do the weeks go!
This time we want to see
Purple
not a colour I use a lot - not for any particular reason - I think I must forget about it now,
And yet (as any good Donny Osmond fan knows!!) it was Donny's colour and I had a lovely purple bedroom in honour of that when I was a young teenager -it's funny how things come back to you. I remember being allowed to plaster my walls with pop posters,( the Osmonds, The Jackson five, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, David Essex, The New Seekers. the O'Jays ..... what a collection, all because the man that my Mam got in to wallpaper put the pattern of the paper on upside down!! - happy days - how I'd love that happy carefree place now, my lovely purple room with my posters and music - and my dog Kim, Radio Luxemburg and the Fab 208 magazine - oh I'm really off on a memory trip here - and cream eggs! - why do cream eggs pop into my mind, I haven't had one for years - and all this because of purple : )
This week I have made 3 purple thede cards one posted yesterday and one today and I haveanother following tomorrow - a bit like buses lol
I've had this pretty stamp from LOTV for a little while and never used it, I bought it because I love tulips - so for today's card purple tulips seemed the perfect thing to do! - and I'm still on the watercolour pencils thing! - I just love them, so quick and easy to use

Such a pretty image colored and frames with that scrolling frame, it's very elegant. The watercolour pencils look beautiful, great choice x Jessie
I haven't had a cream egg in years either! But I do love purple and use it quite often on my cards.
These tulips look so stunning in purple; your watercolouring is gorgeous :-)
The layered design looks lovely and it's finished beautifully with that pretty bow.
Big hugs, Kat xx
Love how the purple theme has inspired us all Judith… your purple room sounds amazing… I remember listening to Radio Luxembourg secretly under the bedcovers in early hours!! Lol.
I love your card… what a fab tulip stamp and your watercolouring is beautiful. Love the ornate frames and lush bow! :-)
Hope you have a lovely weekend
