To accent my card, along with my normal stuff: ruffled ribbon, buttons, brads, spiral clips..., I used several CutUps. I used the Stitched Fly, Wavy Stitched Border, and Cloud Border

I paired the new stamp set with some Kaisercraft Botanica paper, which is 20% off right now, too!! My image was colored with Copics, and paired with cardstock from MFT in Grapesicle and Hot Fudge, and Certainly Celery from SU. My buttons are from MFT(Sweet Tooth, Hot Fudge, Grapesicle, and Spearmint), and I used some Hot Fudge grosgrain, purple ruffled ribbon, Michael's brads, spiral clips, and a Large Open Scalloped Border Die-namics from MFT. 

My card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, to make a card using the color purple!
