I stressed over this one for a while because if you follow my blog you know purple is not a color I use. thankfully Hollyhock was a part of the equation so I jumped on it. I had a great idea in my head but it just didn't work out like I thought so here is how it all panned out.
In the end I really like the card even with the purple. LOL I added lots of little sparkle and shine. I used this months Stamp of the Month It's the Little Things. You can pick it up for just $5 with your $50 order this month.
I got the design and pattern from the Wishes card book. You can find the pattern and cutting instructions of pg. 59. It's the All Stacked Up pattern. If you haven't tried the pattern books by CTMH they're fabulous. They give all the cutting instructions and sizes as well as color samples.

Perfect way to use the color dare colors! Great balance of color and I ages!
Tina, I love how you arranged the elements in your card. Smokey Plum is a challenge for me too, but you nailed the color challenge. :-)
Your card turned out wonderfully, no one would have known you don't do purple.
