Purple maison des fleurs

I bought the lovely 'maison des fleurs' Stampotique stamp by Janet Klein a while ago and this is my first opportunity to use it.

I've followed the sketch on Scrap-creations going grey challenge 12 which this week is being sponsored by Stampotique:

The background paper is some that was in my scraps box (quite a large 'scrap' because the card is 7" x 5") and the bands of two papers across the middle are BG wisteria.

I stamped the image with dusty concord and then used some of the ink to lightly colour with a water brush.

Stampotique design challenge 8 is ''purple' so this card is also for that.

I'm also linking this for:
