Christmas Shades of Blue

By
It's Christmas card time again and this week it's time for some colours - take a look


And here is my card


My Three Wise Men have been embossed with clear embossing powder so that when I sponged my scene in blue they stood out better.
I used a variety of blue inks from a very dark navy that was almost black to a pale sky blue used for the sky.
You may notice that there is no silver - there was a silver gem on the star but it must have dropped off while I was setting it up to photograph it. I found it a while later stuck to the cat!!

Don't forget to drop by at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and take a look at all the other gorgeous DT cards. Meanwhile I'm off on my holidays for a week - see you soon xx

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
