Hello there!
Laura here and today I have a fun project to share with you featuring the Hope Stamp Set.
I thought I would try a color combination that I've never tried before. I don't think I've ever combined purple and orange together, other than maybe at Halloween time, but they are absolutely gorgeous paired together.
To begin, I blended Midnight Violet on the bottom of a panel and Orange Cream on the top. I adhered the beautiful Dotted Washi Tape over the ink blended panel, which really toned down the colors, but still allowed you to see the subtle purple and orange ink blending.
The next step was stamping the beautiful floral images from the Hope Stamp Set.
For the bloom, I used the Shades of Purple ink set and for the leaves, I used the Green Meadows ink set. I also added Sunkissed and Autumn Blaze for the center of the bloom.
Then I die cut a circle window opening into the background panel using one of the Halftone Circles Nesting Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Hope Stamp Set and embossed a coordinating sentiment in white onto a strip of purple cardstock.
Here is a video to show you how I created this card ARVE Error: need id and provider
Thank you so much for joining me today!

Love your beautiful card!
GORGEOUS card!!!
I love the orange and purple! Love the layout of this card. Just beautiful.
Such a good looking card, Laura!
Love the card! Orange and purple were my daughters wedding colors – fell in love with the combination.
“Hope” you keep Laura coming back. Love her style, blending and composition. And color combo. Yes!
Absolutely beautiful card! I particularly love the look of the buds. They are sweet and add so much to the already opened layered bloom. Waiting for my “Hope” set to arrive!
Awesome card Laura, I love this colour combination. They remind me of Spring and crocuses, who are often purple with orange stamen. Thanks for this beauty!
Beautiful card Laura. Love the color combo. Excited to be able to CASE it as soon as my Hope stamp set arrives.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Orange and purple works for me! :) Gorgeous card! Love the use of the washi tape!
Hi Laura, This is just STUNNING, the orange and purple is beautiful together, I love it and now I have to try those colors together, who would of thought, lol, just beautiful!!!!
YUP! I love it too! So pretty and the Washi tape over the orange & purple makes it dreamy looking. Its stunning!
Wow! This card is stunning! I’ve been lax about trying new techniques, at least new to me. I’ve been papercrafting since 2004 and have never really tried ink blending or played with washi tape! This card makes me want to do both, thank you Laura, for all of the wonderful inspiration!
I love purple too, and using it with orange looks awesome! That washi tape is an amazing product….Thank you for this video, Laura, it’s a beautiful card!
You are a master with color Laura!
Beautiful. I love purple/orange/greens esp. lime green together. So this is right up my alley. Beautiful card and loving that washi tape. Never seen it so big. Love the flowers and leaves. Thanks for the video
ok this is the first time i seen those particular stamp pads. They look like they are very vibrant and stamp crisp. Love the washi tape soo cool. Never seen it before.

Love that you go “outside the box” and try different colors like that. I think your card turned out so pretty! Thank you, once again, for sharing your ideas.
