Got the Blues...

 

Good morning, here's the card I made for this week's challenge at Sweet Stampin'

the theme being 'Got the Blues'- to be interpreted any way you choose! 

I took the obvious option and went for the colour!

Out came the Distress Inks and Distress Oxides- I indulged in some smooshing , sponging and flicking with  the inks and water onto a piece of white cardstock to create a background (had lovely blue fingers for a while). 

Out came the Lavinia stamps- some old, some new, I stamped the Winifred Fairy with black Versafine Clair ink and then  die cut the frame, cutting around the fairy stamp first. I stamped the script and swirls randomly over the frame and added some sparkle to the fairy wings. 

The little scene inside the frame was created using the rest of the inky cardstock and various Lavinia stamps, details picked out with a white gel pen.  After adding the frame to the card base it looked a little bare so I added another fairy and stamped some swirls and 'fairy dust' .

I haven't added a sentiment as I love to use these cards as 'just because' cards and notelets.

There's always loads to see and be inspired by at 

Sweet Stampin'

so do take the time to visit-

we'd really love to see what you create too,  just follow the theme  and remember to add some stamping to play along

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend
