Purple Romance Cards - Chipboard Style



It's August 1st and time to present the August Challenge at Creative Embellishments.  I cannot believe I am actually saying "August" already but time doesn't stop for the daydreamer like me.   
The rules for the challenge are actually quite simple.  Take your inspiration from the image below and run with it: card, layout, canvas, any thing goes. But you must use some Creative Embellishments 

This is the image from the challenge.  You can see the post and rules here. 


I created two cards inspired by elements from the challenge image.  My paper choice (Graphic45 - Fairie Dust Collection 12x12) was inspired by the the leaves in the trees.  Next, the beautiful and ornate "Heart Dangle"  chipboard center piece (simply painted deep magenta) is my interpretation of the couple in the image.  They are surrounded by the Fancy Oval Frame, which has been embossed for a shiny effect to resemble the reflections caused by the rain.  

The second card was inspired by the street lights with colors from the image.  The lights are represented using  "chipboard gears 1" painted deep magenta with Graphic 45 stickers as buttons.  These are set over the Creative Embellishments - Lace Border 1 - painted lime green.  I also added green gems for the twist - to add a shiny element to the project.

The second card was inspired by the street lights in the challenge image as well as the rich colors.  The lights are represented using  "chipboard gears 1" painted deep plum  with Prima Finnabair - Art Alchemy - Plum Preserves paint

The gears were topped with Graphic 45 stickers from Graphic45 - Fairie Dust Collection 12x12 as buttons.  These are set over the Creative Embellishments - Lace Border 1 - painted with Prima Finnabair - Art Alchemy - Green Gold paint.  I also added green gems for the twist - to add a shiny element to the project.
