I was merrily creating this card as one of my Dutch Dare Design Team Projects for January i.e. 'create a love card without using pink or red'. As usual, when the project is done, I immediately photograph it and upload. I opened my diary, to check at which week's DD challenge I must upload my jpg's, when I noticed that there is no such challenge scheduled for January over at Dutch Dare. Just shows you that one's mind don't always seem to be where it should be ... definitely roaming somewhere ...
Fortunately, after a bit of blog hopping and remembering (yes can you believe it that I can actually recall something ...) some challenges for this week, I noticed that my creation qualifies for three challenges this week:
-
Sketches by Tamara: Tamara's card sketch #78 for this week, really served as a basis to get the creative juices flowing. Thanks Tamara for being so inspiring.
-
Our Creative Corner: The challenge here this week is to create a card using two shades of blue and one neutral colour.
- Basic Grey Challenge 17: Use chipboard on your creation and at least one BG item.
{Please visit these challenge blogs and feast your eyes on the DT's gorgeous creations.}
I have used the following tools:- Carl scalloped edged scissors
- Archival Cobalt Dye Ink
- Daisyd's Modern Romance floral cardstock
- The texture blue cardstock is from my stash
- Basic Grey Archaic Prime cardstock for stamped images
- Chiswick acrylic stamps
- ColorBox Blue Iris chalk ink
- Staedtler Grey Pen
- Love is all you need mounted stamp (can't remember supplier)
- Chipboard swirl from MizMetal
- Brads, buttons and turns from stash
such a beautiful card - love the blue...
