The new Designer’s Choice Challenge over at
The House that Stamps Built is a colour challenge
Use two or more shades of Blue.
I even named my card for this challenge - Blue Blue my card is Blue.
Here is what I came up with.
http://www.thehousethatstampsbuilt.com/designers-choice-challenge/dcc1219-two-shades-of-blue/
The card base is white and topped with dark blue cs and I distressed the edges. I followed with a lighter blue and embossed it with CB Textile folder. I also sanded the surface to bring out the white then distressed and tore a few edges.
I then layered the same dark blue paper, distressed the edges and curled one corner. The white cs on top has been inked in a very light blue with SU Vintage Vogue stamp set.
I stamped the small flowers in a dark blue on the white cs and cut out a further 2 the same and popped them on top.
Finished off with some sprigs from my MS punch and added a larger lighter blue flower which has dots of liquid pearls and a touch of glitter around the centre.
Added a small piece of light blue ribbon and a tiny sentiment from Gina K's stamp set Stippled Nature.
This is a closer view of the light blue flower which show the glitter a little more clearly.
