And here is what I did with the colors:
I'm still loving making these stamped layered backrounds, so here is another incorporating the colors for the challenge. I started with white paper, mooshed some weathered wood distress ink onto an acrylic block, spritzed with water and stamped over my white-embossed top-half of the Music Collage. Then I overstamped the Magical Backiground using faded jeans distress ink, and the real violet 3 times using broken china distress ink. This panel was then framed in aqua cardstock, layered over a panel each of grey and darker blue, stamped with the same Magical Background, and inserted a doily in between to bring out the white embossing. The ribbon is from Donna, the pearls from Virginia - thanks ladies!
