"MONOCHROMATIC THEME"

sometimes I rather like to use a monochromatic theme .... so I've been working on this page using different shades of deep purple to light mauve with a little black thrown in for good measure.
a friend of mine took this photo of her bling !!!! rather gorgeous I thought .

I printed the pic onto cardstock which I often do as I feel it creates a beautiful warm, soft glow to the page.




thanks for droppin' by and I soooo love reading your comments
take care and enjoy your day
love and hugs heather xo
