Scrapbook Challenge- use purple

I've been hoarding these Stampin' Up papers because they are so gorgeous and have been afraid to ruin them.  I think I did them justice. I am pleased with this layout. 

 I used the Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge cutting the frames at 5 inches, the E is cut at 3 and the owl is cut at 4 inches.

I used the same technique as did on my Hello Kitty page a few posts down, the green strip is the back side of the purple flowers.  I cut a 1 1/2 inch strip from another piece and glued it on top of the seam. I like how it turned out, looks pretty fancy. 

 The flower is from my stash of flowers that the manager at Joann's lets me scrounge off the floor, I know it's pitiful but I can't afford the prices on the silk flowers these days. I used some purple twine to tie the frames.

 My beautiful owl; she has a hunter green layer and the "color' of her eyes is the hunter green.  I cut an extra eyelash piece and chest feathers from the dark purple and used a tiny hole punch to cut dark purple irises.  I used the heart from her chest piece and made it her beak.

 I tried and tried and tried to get this picture to lay the correct way so tilt your head to the right please so you can see it. lol
