This month’s KCUK challenge is Shades of Blue – I’ll try to do another before the month’s out cos blue is my all time favourite colour (although I do love other colours just as much now) and this is a quick 10 minute card.
It felt good to stamp and play a little :)
In answer to the question about how I made the background, I just used a few shades of Adirondack ink, applied with baby wipes, then applied a touch of my favourite blue Colorbox Pigment ink - I absolutely love that shade of blue and must try to get it in a large pad, rather than the Petal Point I use so often. Blue inks are very 'iffy' and I've always found it difficult to find shades I really like without them being too overpowering.
5 very kind comments from lovely people:
It is absolutely beautiful ! Presume your background is homemade; how did you do it ? Distress refill colours ? Mini misters ?
I love it, no matter how !
Beautiful Cath, very subtle, x
This is so lovely! I love the colours that you ended up using and particularly like your background. Would also love to know how you achieved it!
