Hello, Blue!

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!

LIST: Colours (shades of blue, white), Techniques (stamping, die cutting), Elements (pattern of shapes, vertical ribbon, pinked circle focal point with sentiment strip)

INCLUDE: blue and white, stamping, die cutting, pattern of shapes

MODIFY: stenciled instead of stamped/die cut, plain circle focal point with pattern on it rather than on the shapes, 

EXCLUDE: ribbon, vertical element

SPIN: added lots of gems

This pretty monochrome inspiration really stretched my multi-colour comfort zone! lol! 

I masked off a Hero Arts ornaments stencil and blended 2 colours of blue ink through 12 of the ornaments, to create dimension.

I stamped my sentiment with blue ink onto a white circle, and then used a small stamp from a snowflake set to add the pattern there instead of inside the geometric shapes.

I finished with lots of gems for some sparkle!
