Colourful Blog Party

It's blog party time again over at Waltzingmouse stamps and this month it's all about colour - and being close to Halloween, they've gone for a spooky palette of black, purple and orange.  Now as much as those colours would lead you down the Halloween path, I don't really "do" Halloween (it's not big in our area at all) so I've struggled to come up with an idea.


In the end, I went for a very simply tag card using the new Opera stamps and gorgeous matching dies, paired with a simple sentiment from compact sentiments using the suggested colours.  I would never have paired orange and purple but I kind of like it - even though none of my purples match!

I'm looking forward to seeing all the spooky offerings from the rest of the party goers :-)

    Very pretty.. It makes me want to pay with my opera tag stap and die, too. Love the idea of making it an ornament.

    I love the Opera tag as a feature on the front of a card, I thought the embossing behind the tag really set it off!! and, nope, I could not see past Halloween either, lol!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at WMS!
