This week, my post using Melanie Muenchinger's new set, called "Wild At Heart", took to places I don't usually like to go. I combined an element that I just love, which is gingham, with the color that gives me the most trouble when I am creating. That color is purple! There is something about that color that never seems to photograph correctly. Well, I think I finally conquered the beast with my love of gingham.I used an A2 base weight card stock for my card and added a beautiful layer of purple gingham. My main image was inked with Color Box, fluid chalk ink in Dark Peony. I added a layer of scalloped, satin ribbon, a vintage openwork floral button, and Dew Drops to accent the centers of my flowers.
I hope you enjoy my creation for this week! Melanie's new set can be found over at Gina K. Designs. If you have time, please pop over to Melanie's Blog for a peek at another card I created using Wild At Heart. Bye for now!

Mary Anne, you are doing a fantastic job with these stamps. You're soooo creative and I love all the inspiration you've given me. I have the set and am having a great time using your cards for inspiration.
This gingham is perfect. Love it. You are rock'n GF.
Purple is my favorite color in the world, so I'm going to love anything you create with it! I think you did a wonderful job on this card! Those dewdrops brought those pretty floral images to life, and I love the gingham background too! That big brad looks great!!! I'll teach you to work with purple if you teach me to work with rust. That color challenges me the most! lol
