SHOPPING OUR STASH #412 - Winter Blues

 Good morning and welcome back, crafty friends!

Today starts the new challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH!

For the next two weeks, we want to see your

WINTER BLUES.

You can make something Winter related and/or use the color blue

predominately on your projects.

My card doesn't seem to have a whole lot of blue on it, but it does. 

I didn't have any dye inks in my stash that seemed to go together well.

(trust me, I tried all the combinations. Nothing looked good to me)

I wound up using second generation stamping for the flower outline, then stamped

the stippled layers in first generation. To give them more of a blue tinge, I used

a very light blue Spectrum Noir marker to add even more color. The 

leaves were done kind of opposite: I stamped normally the outlines, then triple

stamped the stippled layer in the same ink. Again using a very light gray marker

to add more detail. The matte and oval frame are blue card stock IRL, but with

my crack photography skillz, they look black.  

Here's what the inside looks like:

A detail shot: 

(pay no attention to the fact that I couldn't line up the layer stamps

correctly to save my life)

Now it's your turn! What does Winter blues mean to you? Show us

by linking up to the Shopping Our Stash gallery!
