First Posting - True Blue

Well hi to anyone out there looking at my little old blog. I am new to this if you cannot tell already! This is my first posting of a birthday card I made in blue tones.




I coloured the embossed design background with a sand coloured chalk from the Dovecraft set, and the flowers in blue. I also coloured some of the leaves in green chalk. I added some glitter to the petals of each flower to make the card sparkle. The tag background is also chalked in blue. I made the card using the following:

A5 hammered card blank
Cuttlebug stylized flowers embossing folder
Papermania blue gingham paper
Xcut flower punch
Small daisy punch (a bargain bought from Tesco!)
Tag stamp from Papermania 'The Secret Garden' clear stamp set
Flat back gems from stash
Peel off silver Happy Bithday sentiment
Blue organza ribbon from Poppicraft
Dovecraft chalks
Glitter to finish

Hopefully this is my first post of many! Thanks for looking - Sue x
