Addicted To Blue

By
It's time for another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and this week the challenge is 'Addicted to Blue' - that means creating a card with the predominant colour of Blue.
My card has been made using Butterfly Prints (Stampin' Up) and various shades of blue - take a look


I really love the hound's tooth pattern of this stamp and it looks great in the blue don't you think? My colours are Bashful Blue, Taken with Teal and Pacific Point. Each stamped butterfly has been stamped and cut out and then layered on to a punched butterfly in the same colour blue. The sentiment has been stamped in Bashful Blue.
My fellow team mates have made some lovely cards this week so please do hop over to the blog and take a look - you never know you might just want to join in!
Thanks for looking - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Hi Jacqueline, what a dynamic card and I couldn't believe that the houndstooth was stamped it looks so perfect I thought it was DP it's gorgeous in those colours. Love the layering here and the lovely use of different shades of blue. How things are a little better at home and sending you lots of positive thoughts.
    Take care,
    Marie

    This is such a great way to showcase 'blue' Jacqueline. As soon as I saw your card I thought 'now why didn't I think to do that'. Probably lucky I didn't really lol.

    Love the graduated blues of your butterflies. x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
