Purple...nothing rhymes with Purple

Allright this card was originally inspired by the challenge at cuttlebugspot! The challenge was to create something that was monochromatic, I used the script folder. Then my friend goingcricrazy on the cricut MB posted a tutorial for these awesome flowers which I just had to try! Here is the link http://www.memoriesartwork.com/living_to_create/2009/09/fantastic-flower-video-tutorial-by-donna-salazar.html
Then I realized I had no leaves and I couldn't be throwing green leaves on a monochromatic card so I tied a bow onto the back of the flower to make leaves and added my two little buttons. Then I realized I actually made a card that fit the bill over at http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/ this week. You had to use stitching and buttons! I love my purple card!
