My fave colour...purple!

Over at Ink On My Fingers, Hel's has set a challenge to make something with the colour purple. Click here to see the challenge.

I had to jump on this one as i love purple, any shade, i just love the colour. It has a mystical feel to it and i like that.

So as usual, i sat for what felt like hours at my crafty space, made a huge mess, spilt a few things, threw a few things.....and at the end of it emerged this tag.

.

Very, very basic, but i love the purple, i love the flourish stamp, and after the housework that my kids have left me with, i wanted to make a dreamy piece where instead of looking out of the window at a nice scene......i could look inside my house and see a gorgeous sight instead of the mess that i am sat in at present!!!

Much use of sticky fixers here, the tag is raised up from the rear one for depth, and the window frame is raised with sticky fixers for further depth, so it really does look like you are looking through a window.

.

The lovely backing paper is courtesy of the Crafty Individuals stack, and the picture frame wood is courtesy of Starbucks! Their coffee stirrers are great for crafty projects! (Ask them first though, you'd look pretty weird getting caught stealing wooden stirrers!)

.

The tassel is possibly a bit much, but i like it so there! :) You may notice the window frame is slightly wonky compared to the bottom of the cut out window. This is due to me accidentally standing on the tag whilst trying to photograph it...don't ask.

.

Ok i'll tell....my light tent is on my craft room floor, i tried to pull a light that i use for the top lighting off of my desk, and i pulled a whole load of crafty tools on top of me. Gluesticks, craft knives, scissors....they got caught in the light flex. Then when i stood up after taking the pic, i stood on a brad, hopped to get off of it....almost stood on a scalpel, then a glue stick.....just missed cracking my head off the worktop.....and finally stood on my tag!!!

Thanks for the challenge Hel's, you couldn't of picked a better colour. :)
