This week we are celebrating a Blue Christmas as suggested by our guest hostess June Houck. What does that mean - well blue should be the predominate color of our card and I think I pulled that off.
I used both Marina Mist and Night of Navy cs and I also got to use my new Memory Box swirly tree die. I love those delicate swirls which I tried to compliment with the swirl embossed background. Those are some MS punched snowflakes with sticky blue jewels. The oval was cut using the Scallop oval die and embossed. I didn't want those background swirls to disappear so I swiped some white craft ink over them.
So don't be blue but come and see the other blue beauties here.
Memory Box swirly tree die.....*sniff* I think it's so purdy and I ain't got one!
ReplyDeleteHow did you attach it? Behind the sentiment? With what?

ReplyDeleteI love blue Christmas cards, and yours is a beauty, Lorraine! I really like the soft muted affect you achieved by applying white ink over the swirled background. Beautiful in every way!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dainty delicate die, and what a lovely symphony in blues.
