PaperPlay DT Card - Colour Combo - Blue, Cream + 1

  
This week at PaperPlay Challenge our theme is Blue, Cream and one other colour of your choice.  I went with Blue, Cream and Yellow.  I used a gorgeous Sweet Pea image and coloured it with Copics.   This week we are sponsored by Craft Brulee.  I was so lucky to receive the gorgeous blue ribbon and lace which I have added to the base of my card.


I cut a sentiment into strips and inked the edges with Creamy Caramel ink to give an aged effect.  I used Ballet Blue card stock with SU DP and a bit of furry, creased cream paper which I cut out with the Top Note die cut.



I added a blue flower and pasted a pearl in the centre of it and cut out some cream leaves using the SU Sweetest Stem die.  I also added two stems of blue crystals coming up the left-hand side of the card.


Why dont you come over and play this week?  Blue and cream would make great colours for a Christmas card for those who are working on that huge task!
