Hey there, Bleeps! TGIF! Quick poll for you all today. Do you like the color purple? I personally think the color is okay, especially for crafting, but I find many paper crafters are disgusted by the color! I thought I'd take a poll to find out the real reason behind why so many crafters dislike this girly color!
This card uses some Cut Cardstock.com cardstock! It's great because although you cannot see it, it has a slight linen texture to it. It's very subtle, yet effective. The design was inspired by Moxie Fab World's plum crazy challenge!
Enjoy your weekend!

- Trim card base to an A2 size.
- Die cut label and stamp design.

Beautiful card! I stumbled upon your blog somehow, but I'm glad I did :) Love your style! I also love purple too.
I love purple. I think it's a fun and cheery color.
This is so pretty. I love that stamp set you've been using!
I think this card is so pretty. I personally like purple but it very easy to go ugly with it... lol!
Gorgeous!! Love your elegant card!

Hi Ashley, I absolutely love your work and am inspired by it daily. About the color purple, I really don't know why I shy away from it with my cards and LO's. I guess being that I used it so much due to my son's high school colors/football LO's. Maybe I will challenge myself with that color now. Thanks
Purple is absolutely a regal color. Your card expresses such an understated elegance! Thank you for sharing.
what a lovely card!! beautiful. i love purple..but don't use it much...awesome!!
Fantastic card! As for purple, it's my favorite color.
Ashley,
So pretty! I actually love the color purple.

Love the card, Ashley! I personally am not a fan of purple, but lately I have been trying to go outside my "comfort zone" and use it more often.
So pretty and soft! I like purple, but I think it's hard to match colors with it, so it's harder to use! :)
Great card Ash! You went all out with this theme! Aren't those giga sentiments perfect???
Beautiful. As usual.
So pretty Ashley! I love all the different ways you have been using the Very Vintage Labels 4 set. It looks great like this! There's nothing like a deep, dark purple and I'm looking forward to Cath's challenge as well!
Hi, I like purple. I have actually worked a lot with it this year but I like the darker purples or lilac and I like it when used to create elegant projects (like yours). However I do hate it combined with bright pinks for a girly look. I hate all bright bolds when used together on cards.
Wowza, girl, this is divine! Love how you used the different purple shades!
I'm not a huge purple fan either, I mean, I don't hate it or anything, but it's not something I usually reach for. Your card, however, is gorgeous!
Gorgeous card!!
Your card is beautiful. I am not such a purple fan myself but must admit it is growing on me.
ooh la la la! So pretty Ashley, luv luv the plum colors and the tag is perfect, so you and so elegant! Looks like i'm going to have to take time to participate in Cath's challenge too, awesome!

Gorgeous!!! Purple has definitely been growing on me.
This is so gorgeous, Ashley!!! love the purple and the stamp is so beautiful!
I had never seen this framed stamp to go with the nesties! I love it! I also love the image inside the frame. Beautiful. I am all for purple... and turquoise (2 of my good friends are against both... though I am not sure why!) Dark purple reminds me of royalty!
Simply stunning!
