The PPA challenge this week is to use 3 shades of purple – Blackberry Bliss, Elegant Eggplant, and Perfect Plum. I was kind of stumped until I saw a picture of a beautiful purple bridal bouquet, and I thought, “That could work!”
I stamped the handle and a few leaves using Mossy Meadow and the Painted Petals stamp set. I took the sentiment from Your Perfect Day and stamped it onto Whisper White.
I punched several flowers using the 3 colors with the Pansy punch, Petite Petals punch, and Itty Bitty Punch Pack flower punch.
The bouquet is “wrapped” with Blackberry Bliss thick twine. A few random pearls dress it up a bit. The base color is Blackberry Bliss.
It’s so pretty, I want to stick some Baby’s Breath in it and carry it down the aisle!!!

Your interpretation of this week's challenge is beautiful. There is a lot of purple in this challenge so it's easy to get overwhelmed. You've managed to handle it very well. Nicely done.
