Color Challenge Eggplant not purple...

What's in a name... I don't like purple, usually. However Adirondack Eggplant by Ranger...I like.
I needed to color a quick sympathy card and I remembered a technique I had seen online.
had this great idea to ink a stamp with Versamark, brayer over it with a color (Eggplant in my case) and using the image to stamp over again in the same color you used to brayer.
Wah wah...
As you can see it didn't work as nicely as it did for the Princess. My brayering needs work.
I tried again. This time using the Versamark with a large Hero background stamp. Then I used my Colorbox stylus with a round foam tip to add the "brayered" color. Stamping with the main color  after the foaming and here is the result.
You can just barely see the lighter lines of the Versamark. better in person. The text is from  Stampin' Up set.
Take note. I didn't waste the first piece. I attached it under the main piece for a matching border.
 Waste no want not!

This will be my day 8 submission for the
