A Study in Blue – Friendly Foliage

Hi again!  Those challenge deadlines come up quick, so double duty today.

Color Hues (#125) is featuring Blue and White this round and Inkspirational (#359) has a Shades of Blue Overlapping Squares inspiration photo.

I brought these two together with the Jaydee’s Paper Players (#770) Sketch.  Choosing A2 over Slimline and overlapping four shapes in Navy and White. I am sharing with Love Those Pretty Papers (#2601) for combining four different paper patterns.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Night of Navy cardstock.
• Shapes – Squares and Floral Spray.
  • Top Square: (2½” x 2½”) Basic White cardstock and (2⅜” x 2⅜”) Navy and White Mini Floral patterned piece of paper from the retired Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Middle Square: (2½” x 2½”) Basic White cardstock and (2⅜” x 2⅜”) Navy and White Loop patterned piece of paper from the retired Serene Love Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Bottom Square: (2½” x 2½”) Basic White cardstock and (2⅜” x 2⅜”) Navy and White Mini Diamond patterned piece of paper from the retired Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Floral Spray: Fussy-Cut with Paper Snips from the White and Navy Florals patterned piece of paper from the retired Serene Love Designer Series Paper pack.
• Sentiment Label: Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock scraps die-cut with the Label die from the Fragrant Layers Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.
  • The sentiment, Sending Love, from the Friendly Foliage stamp set, also an On-Line Exclusive product, was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder on the Night of Navy in-set piece.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble a mirror version of the sketch.  The Floral Spray was popped up Dimensionals and a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the Sentiment Label.

Loving the monochromatic color scheme and the fresh crisp Navy and White for a sweet all occasion card.  Who couldn’t use a little Love sent their way…

Thanks for spending some more of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
