Yellow and Purple -Together

Hello again!  Welcome to week three in the Make My Monday colour wheel challenges!  This week we are focusing on COMPLIMENTARY COLOURS, with a chosen colour pair to work with.
Complimentary colours are colours that compliment each other.  They fall across from each other on the colour wheel. Since purple and yellow are Mynnette's favorite colours and are complimentary, she'd like to see some creations using just these two colours plus white or cream. You may stamp lined images and sentiments in either black or brown, but solid images should be stamped in yellow and/or purple. Please pop over to the main blog to check out the DT samples and from our guest for the month buttons, there are some amazing card projects, though you can enter any form of paper craft project you wish. Here is my card.

The background is from Sheena Douglas Cd Paint Fusion. I stamped the fine line stamps of foliage with black ink.  Stamped with Stazon onto yellow vellum, then added yellow litter to the wings, thorax and tails of the dragonflies. Stamped onto yellow paper and punched out the greeting and added a yellow bow. These are not two colours I would  have put together, yet, I was pleasantly surprised on how well they look, so thanks Mynette, for once again, it has been proven this is another reason why we try to offer you different forms of challenges. I look forward once again to visiting your blogs, may I compliment those who have been venturing along with us during Mynette's colour challenges, not as easy as most but a very enjoyable challenge, maybe you have to use more little grey cells but for me, the more I use, the less I loose. 
Stamps - Dandelion and Grasses- Indigo Blu  - Dragonflies - Non Sequitur  - Oriental Collage Elements from The Stampman.
I am also entering this card into Stamptacular Sunday for Challenge #172  - Wings and Bling
