Lighting the Way in blues

Lighting the Way in blues

Hello Everyone – a fun idea when I used a stamp set and pattern paper to design the Lighting the Way in blues.

I hope you take some time to think about our military today.  All the freedom and liberties we have is due to their sacrifices.  Take some time and thanks a Vet or active duty person.  They truly give up a lot!

When you craft you have the liberty to use whatever color you want. Using some pattern paper means you can stamp leaves to match the colors in the paper. The Countryside Inn uses shades of blues for beautiful paper. Since I used this dsp it meant I would have to use blues for my leaves. I think they look fine in blue!

Blue leaves were the perfect accent in the Lighting the Way in blues card.  Makes a great masculine card idea.

Lighting the Way stamp set has gorgeous leaf sprays that make great clusters on your card. Look at those sprays in this set.

To break up all of the blue, a white embossed panel was added. This panel also adds some texture to the card front.

Monochromatic cards can have interest by using shades of the same color. I got the different shades by using second and third generation stamping. Check out the different shades of the leaf sprays.

Here is another idea of a monochromatic card in blues with this card. This one uses a turquoise to create shades on the flowers.

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope my monochromatic Lighting the Way in blues has inspired you to try creating with one color.

Have a Marvelous Monday!
