LIM - Winter Blues


Well it's back to the normal Saturday routine and the LIM challenge which, this week, is called Winter Blues. The ladies want to see cards made with shades of blue so here is my attempt.
I used my aqua painter along with Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Night of Navy to colour a background before stamping the image from Love & Sympathy over the top in Night of Navy. A sentiment from Petite Pairs was stamped, again in Night of Navy, and the card was finished off with three of the tiniest Basic Pearls.

The weather here is atrocious again this morning, very wet and windy, but thankfully I don't live anywhere near a coastline. How awful for those poor people to have been flooded at Christmas and then again this week - I can't begin to imagine how devastating it must be.
Until next time, stay safe

    Gorgeous card, beautifully simple, with a change of greeting it would make a lovely sympathy card too.
