Beautiful Blues

Wanted to get my Thursday post up pronto so I still have time to play with the Paper Players colour challenge #112.  Here is my card:


And here is the challenge:

 
I wondered how well these three subdued colours would work in a card, but with some Whisper White for balance, they look really good together.  I used Everything Eleanor for this and did some fussy cutting of the flowers and the plaque.  It truly looks better IRL.
 
Thanks for stopping by and drop by again on Saturday, because I will be posting another installment of Crafty Clues by Heather - a video tutorial on tying a bow- and goodness know we need lots of those tutorials. lol

    So glad you had time to drop by and say hello. Aren't we blessed here in BC with the incredible weather September has been bringing. I'm loving it and so grateful it cools off at night where I am for sleeping. Carole xox
