Something blue.....

The colour I mean not the emotion. Who could be sad with the hot sunny weather we have in Sydney. Actually I don't think we can really complain since school holidays started. I know my girls have been in the pool heaps these last few weeks. I guess if you are stuck outside working you might not appreciate the heat so much.

After making the last 3 cards I've shared with you all I wanted to make something using Blue. Seeing how at the time I still hadn't made the effort to follow Carol Dunstan's Tutorial to make my own In Colour Markers I needed a colour combination using one of the regular colour family blues. I went with Bashful Blue, Barely Banana and Certainly Celery. I can't remember the last time I made a card using only colours from one colour family. It might be as long ago as my Convention Swaps from April last year.....

So this is what I came up with.

Live Your Dreams 2

Very soft I think but I do like it. However now that I have made time and created my In Colour Markers I wonder what combinations I'll try next. Actually I might play with another stamp set too.

Supplies:
Stamp set: Live Your Dreams, Short & Sweet
Card: Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink: Bashful Blue & Barely Banana inkpads, Bashful Blue, Barely Banana & Certainly Celery markers
Accessories: Small & Large Oval Punches, Bashful Blue Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin' Sponge, Paper Piercing tool & template (Tool Kit), Stampin' Dimensionals.
