A bit of dark fun with the Altair Art Papers

I had been wondering what to play with next in the wonderful array of Altair Art papers that grace my desk and I settled on this lovely purple backdrop paper from the ?? paper set.  However, I wanted it all to be less purple and to grunge it up a bit - as I tend to like to do.

So a bit of stencilling went on and then I applied a few different Lindy's Magicals, starting with the black, then dark blue and light blue, plus some of the pink - it all mostly stayed blackish, but in different lights, it all really lifts up, thought it is mostly hidden now with all the layering around the photo matte.

Another very pretty layout using these amazing papers and different ephemera elements that are included across the various packs.  I must say that my purple flower stash is diminishing somewhat with these papers, but, as long as the end result is worth it, I don't mind so much.  I am currently waiting on some postage to our slightly remote location that should fill the creative coffers up nicely!
