#tgifc117 Theme Week - Summertime Blues

Its winter here so I thought I would create some lovely blue skies so that I can dream of the warmth to come in our Australian summer. I am submitting my card in the #TGIFC117 challenge which is themed Summertime Blues

I  blended the following colours in a wash onto some shimmery white cardstock. Started at the top - water washed Pacific Point then Tempting Turquoise then Marina Mist and finally Old Olive.

I also washed the blues onto a separate piece of shimmery white and cut out a rose. I also cut a rose out of Night of Navy. Stuck the outline of the Night of Navy rose down and filled it in with the lighter blue pieces.

Stamped the Happy Birthday in Archival Basic Black ink. The stamp is from the Rose Wonder stampset which can be found on page 162 of the Stampin' Up! catalogue.

Until next time

happy stamping

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 41 -

Hello everyone 

and welcome to my blog.We are having a miserable day 
in the mountains - rain and cool -no sunshine here today!
You may have landed here or
hopped across from the delightful Allison
and I can't wait to see what she has made this 
fortnight.

Here is the sketch for this fortnight that Teneale 

has designed for us

Am loving the new In Colors - so started with 

Sweet Sugarplum cardstock as my main card base.

Then a piece of Whisper White which I attached a piece of

Sweet Sugarplum DSP to.

I then used the Bunch of Blossoms stampset and stamped some flower petals

using Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral ink

Old Olive ink for the leaves.

  Used the Blossom Builder Punch to cut out 

the petals and leaves.

Thank you for stopping by.

Now it is onto the lovely Louise

and I am very sure there will be pink in

her card (She looves pink!)
