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 :)
