November STAMPlorations CAS challenge - Anything Goes With Purple

And so it's November, and we are all in a panic to create all those Christmas cards we all swore we were going to create all through the year but didn't. So why not join us over at the STAMPlorations CAS challenge, and create something for Christmas. Or anything else CAS for that matter! You don't have to use STAMPlorations products but if you have any, we would love to see them used. So hop over to see what the wonderful DT has created to inspire you, and then don't forget to play along!

I created a watercolour background for my card using my Gansai Tambis, including this months theme colour - purple. I also mixed in some pink in there, and spritzed some dark blue and red as a finishing touch. Then I stamped the present and a few sentiment phrases from Joyful October 2014 in Versamark and heat embossed in white powder. Tadaa - all done!
