Blues!!

                                                            I have not had much chance to blog my cards during the holidays, but now visitors have gone, so today is the day!
This beautiful stamp is  from Elegant Spring Flowers set by Chocolate Baroque. I stamped and clear embossed it on a white tag, and then rubbed over it with Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue ink pad. The stamped image pops right out with this technique. I rubbed a little ink around the edge of the card, and attached some wee blue tags finished with  blue rhinestones. I then added a beautiful die cut that I won in a prize from Dies to Die for.

I would like to enter this at Sweet Stamps for die cuts and a flower stamp

Monochrome

This is my first post in nearly a month as we have been away. I saw the challenge at Papercraft weekend  was for monochromatic and I was keen to try out a stamp from a set that I won from
 Chocolate Baroque.
The card is a pretty blue metallic finish, and I have used Midnight Blue to stamp with. I lightly coloured the flowers with Promarkers, and finished off with some blue gems.
I would also like to enter the following challenge.
