Anya Ink meets MMSC41, flowers and more

Hi all, been spoilt today, had some time to play, still not got the hang of these flowers, thankfully this didn't take as long to put together as my Magnolia card last weekend. I have taken loads of photos inside, outside, in the sun out of the sun but I am still struggling to get some of my PURPLES to look PURPLE and not blue. Must have stressed enough hubby is looking into one of those photo box cubes with lights, before we buy one, do they really work, would love some feedback, please:) Rather than waffle too much I am going to list the challenges below as most of you know what you are doing far better than me, but any questions only to willing to answer.

Recipe
SU Cardstock elegant eggplant, Lovely Lilac & Lavender Lace, special effects for shoes, buttons, eyelashes and flower part of hat.
Anya Images (Madelynn and Guy Ian) and embossed background courtesy of my lovely friend Debbie P from Stamp Camp.
Flowers my stash, Kaisercraft and Bizzy Bec's (see sidebar), flowersoft from Bec to (hat) also 3d kindyglitz hat rim but flowersoft nearly covers it

  9. Beautiful card Annette! I don't know about light boxes (maybe a google search would throw some light: pun intended!) but I know that I can never get purple to look anything other than blue, but something pink/gold did turn out as purple once! good luck and keep crafting ;o) have a good weekend.
