Blue Christmas

blue prechallenge

This week over at Flourishes it is time for our Release Challenge. The challenge is to create  a card with different shades of blue..I used the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World for my inspiration.. I LOVE this picture.  It was my starting point  for the tones of blue I chose for my card. You can see the details here:  A Study In Blue


For my card I chose the Flourishes sets All That Glitters (for the Christmas ornaments) and Christmas Classic has this sentiment. .  I used the Flourishes Copic Collections Delphinium.
The pearl snowflakes are new to the Flourishes store.. I just love them.  You can't tell in this photo but they are a light blue color.  Very pretty.  Everything was stamped on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock. At the top of each ornament I added a Nail Head.  They are a new embellishment that Flourishes now carries. 

Check out what the rest of the Design Team Created:
HOW TO PLAY: As the weather outside starts to turn to winter, let’s turn to the beautiful shades of cool blue – from deep and vibrant to soft and serene. We want to see these shades on your cards to enter our Warm Winter Wishes Challenge! Do it, and you’ll be in the running to win all three of our new releases for November. You have until Friday, November 12th at 5 PM EST to enter for your chance to win! Use Flourishes stamps if you have them but if you don’t, please play along anyway. If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword FLLCNOV10. Keep in mind, in order to be eligible, you need to link your creation HERE. We can’t wait to see your cool shades of blue to send out some Warm Winter Wishes!
