Shades of Blue

As you may know, blue is my favorite color.  When I saw the monochromatic shades of blue at the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge, I could not resist playing along.  Oh, and let's not forget those blue butterflies.  Even though they are not actually part of the challenge, I did use one on my card.

Sometimes I forget that I have stamps that actually have text on them.  It was a treat to dig out one of my Tim Holtz stamps to use on my card.  We had to use text other than a sentiment at the CAS Watercolour Challenge.

I love the way the Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Pacific Point blended together.  The butterfly was cut from Vellum and washed on the back with Pacific Point to match the lower color. 

Stamp Set:  Reflections (Tim Holtz); Inks:  Basic Black Archival, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Soft Sky; Cardstock:  Watercolor Paper, Whisper White; Other:  Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies, Hello Die (Taylored Expressions), Stitched Oval Stacklets Dies (Taylored Expressions), Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals
