I just realized it's been a while that I haven't made a card, and also a while that I haven't made a card without entering a challenge. I'm kind of in a rush... so here you go:
I always love the products from ecojot, so I got the inspiration from that web site and made this card.
The rule is to use 3 shades of purple. Where are the 3 shades? 1) the ribbon; 2) background paper (which i printed some patterns using copper ink); 3) dark purple paper under the "Happy Birthday".
