I'm Not BLUE - Thinking of You

It's Colour Week at Just Us Girls and Maria is Hosting.
 
 
using  these 3 colours only.
 
 
Seems to be a popular choice so far this year.
 
I loved this colour choice because quite some time ago
I received a package of craft goodies from a
secret partner from a site I was part of.
We would randomly send cards and sometimes craft items
to each other sometimes going to great lengths
to post from different parts of the world so they
wouldn't know where you were.
 
So on to my card that I had so much fun making and
thinking of my partner as we found out who it was at the end of that year.
Mine was over on the other side of the world in the UK.
I got to use only a small part of this package which included
paper ribbon buttons etc.
 
Here are the products I used.
Designer Papers for the background flower
ribbon and button are from Docrafts
Capsule Collection - Burleigh Blue and Lakeland Crafts.
The flower is cut from Spellbinders Labels 27 and
several times from Moroccan Motifs
MS Punch
Distressing
Memento Paris Dusk/Summer Sky on sentiment
from GKD cut using an IBS Label
Memory Box Quinn Flourish behind the flower
Kaisercraft pearls
Variegated cotton on button.
 
Now you have read my long story I hope you will
pop over to our Blog and see more

Looking forward to seeing yours there too.
Then you will be in the running for our
popular Chic of the Week and go into the voting

but wait there's more!
 
There is a new BLOG in town called

I couldn't...
Again apologies for the long post today but
it was worth it...

Yours is a beautiful DT inspiration piece. What a fabulous package from your secret swap partner, and how nice to find out eventually who they are. For us in the northern hemisphere it is an easy choice of colours this time of year but I just love the cool colours at any time. XOXO

Your card is breathtakingly shabby and oh-so-chic! I love the marbled background and that big ol' embellishment is beautiful!

Maria said...
