Just a Blue Note

Do you ever set yourself creative challenges?? 
Well I did for this card... I pulled out a few Winnie & Walter stamps sets that
 haven't seen ink for a while and then delved into my scraps box....


I found a few scraps of pretty blue card and saw a navy card base so I went 
monochromatic for this card. I used navy ink to stamp out flowers and leaves from 
The Big, The Bold Extras along with a banner. I also used a couple of greenery sprigs from two 
other sets which are a larger scale so I just used parts of the foliage.


To lift the images I added shadow and highlights with a navy and white Polychrome pencil,
it made such a difference. I sponged Faded Jeans distress ink through the Sketched Lines 
stencil to add something to the background then arranged the images in a vertical swag.


The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti's Word Up set and just bends
 nicely to fit the curve of the banner :) I'm quite pleased how it turned out and really 
surprised myself how the simple shading adds a lot of dimension.

  

 

Thanks for stopping by :)
