I got the blues.....

Hi everyone, hope this finds you all well. I know I know it has been a whole week since my last post, again, but for some reason I just cant seem to get the cards made. Seem to be lacking in mojo at the moment although I think I can feel it slowly slipping back into my system. I promise to have more for your this week.
This weeks challenge over at Lil Lolita Boutique is BLUE, meaning use as little or as much blue as you like. I like much of my fellow DT members have gone for lots of blue. Please be sure to pop by to each of their blogs and leave some encouraging comments and of course look at their amazing work. 

I have also based my card on this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch and have to say after ripping it apart and starting again I am happy with how it turned out.


Once again you have to forgive the bad lighting we have had such poor weather here I have not been able to get a nice photo the colours in real life are much nicer, as always.

I have used Ivy this week as I think she suits this challenge (as she always reminds of Alice, from Alice in Wonderland) so the blue is quite fitting. I have used papers from Kaisercraft, copics for colouring, kaisercraft flowers, pearls (each painstakingly hand glued on) came from the lovely Paola who ever so kindly sent them to me together with some stamped images that we cant get shipped to Australia (she sent them in March and they just arrived this week I had nearly given up hope thinking they had gone MIA), fiskars apron strings punch, hand stitching ribbon. 

My card ended up being quite basic but I liked that as i thought the different shapes and the flourish I made was enough. 

Now more importantly tomorrow night my besties and I are off to see Eclipse and I cant wait. After I have got over my twilight fever I will be sure to get some cards made (using the images from Paola already have some coloured). 

Thank you for stopping by, until next time xoxo

  9. Considering your mojo is kinda there and kinda not, I LOVE how your card turned out. I like simple but this is classy simple. The black is such a nice accent and your border punch is a great addition too. I have a hard time making simple "classy". You pull it off very nicely.
