True Blue

My favorite color is blue, mostly I have to make myself use other colors. So, I gave in on this one, and used some of my favorite blues.
Midnight Muse, and Marina Mist with Whisper White. The pattern background is from the Holiday Mini catty, Festival of Prints. It comes in 4 1/2"x 6 1/2" pad, perfect for cards, and some really great patterns.
Flowers were cut using the Floral Frames Framelits and the Big Shot and the little butterfly in the middle is from hte Four Seasons stamp set.  I love this set, such different and fun stamps.
My ribbon is Midnight Muse stitched ribbon, and you can get it free all this month! Just order $40 in product and pick a spool of incolor ribbon free with your order!
As a final touch I added the pearls and a brad on the flowers.  Sentiment is from Friendly Phrases.
I also used the scallop border punch on the pattern paper and inked up the edges of the flowers a little. I love little touches like that. All products are Stampin Up.
I hope this gives you some ideas of your own, happy stamping.

Midnight Muse and Certainly Celery

Wow, paired them together and they look like they were made for each other.
I started with Certainly Celery cardstock, used the SU dots embossing folder on both Certainly Celery and Midnight Muse, cut each to fit. I've been waiting for just the right time to use the Crochet trim, and I think it worked great here. I stamped the graphic from the Four Seasons stamp kit onto Very Vanilla and used the 2 1/2" circle punch, then the 3" circle punch on the midnight muse.
The sentiment was done cutting a rectangle out of both Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla then cut the ends with the scallop round punch. The sentiment is from Friendly Phrases.
I hope you give this color combo a try.
See you next time.
