Hello!  Monday, already?!  I'm really not a purple girl so when a purple color challenge comes up, I try to play along to stretch my designing.  Personally, I think watercoloring makes everything look awesome and the more pooling the better...

cardstock:  recollection/110/ white,  bazzill marshmallow, american crafts glitter  stamps:  stampin' up you're wonderful & flower patch  ink:  ranger archival black, stampin' up white embossing powder  other:  spellbinders circles

All the stamps that I used are by Stampin' Up and they are from their photopolymer collection:
