Happy Monday everyone.
I might have mentioned before but I am not a lover of blue, unless it's navy so I never reach for it in crafting. The new challenge starts at The Cutie Pies today and the theme is Beginning with B so I challenged myself and used Blue as the starting point for my cute card and here it is.
I have surprised myself and actually love it!! I have no idea where the pretty paper came from but, as luck should have it, I had a perfect piece of cardstock to mat it upon. I had previously used the lovely set from Tracey Hey and therefore knew that it is a LARGE stamp so didn't need any frippery. I had a lovely time colouring the beautiful bouquet. In reality the large blue flower is more the colour of the paper, cornflower blue, but the camera has, once again, done strange things!! Fussy cutting such a large piece was a challenge...Pauline, you would have been proud of me!! Promarkers, of course, were used to colour everything and good old Pinflair glue gel adds some dimension.
I hope you will join us. Numbers in blogland seem to be getting lower and lower, both in visits to my blog and also entries in challenges. I know it is sometimes easier to click a like but honestly, you have no idea how much your comments and visits have meant to me over what has, personally, been a really difficult couple of years. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Take care all and see you later in the week xx
That image is beautifully coloured Sarah and well done you for embracing your inner blue!
ReplyDeleteI agree, personal blog visits appear to be well down, a symptom of the times I think, but I still can't get my head around Instagram! :)
B is for beautiful Sarah, the bunny is adorable and I just love that big blue flower drawing the eye into the cluster of flowers... very nicely done x

A stunning card Sarah and love the cute image and beautifully coloured. Hugs, Carol S.xx
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous image Sarah, you have coloured it beautifully too. Great job with the fussy cutting, especially those intricate areas between the leaves. Blue is not my favourite colour either and looking around my craft room there is a distinct lack of it in the cardstock and papers on the shelves now that I mention it :)

I hear you on the blog visit rates dropping.
