Through the Purple Haze Challenges #1- "Anything Goes"

Just in case you don't know, there is a brand new Challenge called Through the Purple Haze Challenges and I am ecstatic to tell you I was selected to be a member of the Design Team. We have gotten some great sponsors and there will be some awesome prizes. Our very first sponsor is Indigo Blu and their rubber stamps are wonderful. 

We are having two challenges. One is for showing off your creations with Indigo Blu stamps and then we have another challenge going that is "Anything Goes".  Just what it means---make a card, tag, wall hanging, scrapbook page, anything your heart desires and use images from any company you choose. Sometimes the Anything Goes challenges can be the most difficult because you are forced to put your thinking cap on!! The prize will be from Joanna Sheen.



Ever since I got the Indigo Blu stamp set in the mail, I had been dying to make a card using the sparrow image. I stamped the image using Tea Dye Distress Ink by Tim Holtz on a piece of tan cardstock and then layered it onto a chestnut piece of cardstock. Both layers were cut with Spellbinders Labels 16. For the background, I just randomly stamped the leaves stamp from the set onto the tan cardstock. I finished it off with three copper colored button brads from Spare Parts and then layered on a piece of jute ribbon that was layered on a strip of the chestnut colored cardstock. I then adhered that layer onto a piece of ivory textured cardstock.

Here is my card
