Complimentary colors

I had a lot of time in my craft room the last few days, and I made this card using one of my favorite stamps, Tilda with Daffodil. Isn't she just adorable??!!
I used purple and yellow, which are complimentary colors. I hardly ever use this color combo, so it was really fun to play with something new. I used Prima Sweet fairy papers, and edged them all with Vintage Photo distress ink. The two middle layers, I used my French Script cuttlebug embossing folder, and then rubbed vintage photo over it. I have not dry embossed in a LOOOONG time, so that was fun!
I added some white lace I have had in my stash forever, along with some white seam binding that I distressed with Haunted Shadows Glimmer Mist to make it purple to match the papers.
I colored Tilda with daffodil with copics
Skin - E0000, E000, E00, E21, R20, R30
Hair - E35, E31, YR20
Shirt - V12, V15, V00, V0000
Pants - B99, B97, B95, B91, 0
Shoes - C5, C3, C1, C00
Of course, I used some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers as embellishment. I used yellow and purple 25mm roses, purple cherry blossom, and purple and yellow 15mm roses. The sentiment is a stamp from Crafty Secrets which i cut using my Nesties labels die.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Just magnolia - Friends
Make it Colorful - Yellow and Purple
Tip Top Tuesday - Wrap it up with Ribbon
Crop Stop - Complimentary colors
