Nature 1 Card - IndigoBlu
Hi every one

We've got a new challenge for this month over on the IndigoBlu blog.  The theme this month is words and phrases.

Here's the link to the IndigoBlu website:  http://www.indigoblu.com

I used ink brushes to shade the background with old paper and brushed corduroy distress ink and love the way the light appears to be shining through the branches.

Stamp sets used: 
Nature 1
Live Love Laugh
Mr Darcey

Stamped Detail: 
Clouds: Brushed Corduroy
Branches and birds: Pumice Stone
Grasses and bull rushes: Brushed Corduroy distress ink and Vintage Photo distress Ink Pen
Cow Slips: brushed corduroy, flitter glue and Autumn Blaze mega flakes

Phrase: 
Stamped with Pumice stone Distress ink, shaded and edged with brushed corduroy distress ink and pen.
Mounted on foam tape and highlighted with glossy accents.

Good luck if you're entering :-)

    Morning Clare, I love the colours on this card, really beautiful colour blending and stamping and the incorporation of gilding flakes adds pizzazz.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

      Hi Patricia, thank you so much for all your messages and support. Its much appreciated. I'm so sorry I haven t got back to you sooner but life seems to be passing me by in a whirl at the moment. It was lovely to hear your about your Easter activities and decorations in the Church. It all sounded fabulous. Hope you had a lovely time. Thanks also for pointing out theres no link to the IndigoBlu site. I've added one to the site and will update it with the blog address once the servers up again. It seems to be having a tea time nap at the moment. Sounds like you had a good time at Leigh, and managed to catch up with Ali and Ian while you were there. Hugs to you and speak soon. Bw Clare
