Blue Ornaments

Hi and welcome to Merry Monday!  Today, our challenge hostess is Wendy and she is asking us to use blue and silver/gray ornaments on our cards.

Isn't that a gorgeous graphic?  For my card, I went with my new, favorite blue - Audrey Blue from Simon Says Stamp.

I embossed this gorgeous stamp from an Australian company called Stamp-it onto Audrey Blue using Versamark then embossed with Pewter embossing powder.  I cut out each ornament and sponged a bit of Audrey Blue around the edges to give it depth.  I then tied a wee bow from some silver and white bakers twine.  

The tag was cut and stamped with a stamp from Mama Elephant.  I chose this sentiment because (a) it fit on the tag; and (b) the swirly font looked a bit like the swirls on the ornament, but mainly because it fit on the tag :)

The Audrey Blue strip on the card base was cut with a scalloped die before being glued onto the card base then run through with the stitched rectangle mats die.  I love that thing and find myself wanting to use it for every card!  It adds so much interest for no more layers.

Thanks for visiting.  Have you checked out the beauties created by the rest of the Design Team - just gorgeous!
