True Blue

I'm posting this in haste after my night shift in order to beat the challenge deadline for my latest card, this one's for CASology's current BLUE theme. 

 

 I was inspired by some wonderful sponging effects seen on Heather's blog here, to come up with this effort. It falls a long way short of her beautiful work but I was pleased with it nonetheless.

I used Faded Jeans Distress Ink for the masked panel, I then stamped script by Hero Arts before stamping the main image by Papermania.  The sentiment is from a set by Penny Black.  I made a deckle edged insert and stamped part of the  flower in a paler blue in the bottom right corner but stupidly forgot to photo it before wrting the card.  I've sent this to my very kind friend Eunice who celebrates her birthday today.

I'm off to bed now but before I go I must announce the winner of my giveaway which is ....Kath, please email me with your address Kath. 

More snow is forecast here today so I won't be venturing far, keep warm wherever you are.

  12. So very beautiful! I think your sponged effect turned out lovely and all the fantastic blueness of your card is wonderful! I love the text in the background - other than the color/shading it's my favorite element!
