A Study in Cool Blues and Greens

Good morning everyone.....we are still chilly here....another night of below freezing weather. We are all cozy warm by the fire this morning...yea for Saturdays!!! I'm not sure what we will do today....I suppose I better take down the last of the Christmas stuff first....it's almost finished...Woot!!! Then I think I'll put on a pot of soup and fix some cornbread for lunch....yummmm!!!! Anyway....

I played a little last night and made a card for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast...Stef picked  a fabulous site for our inspiration pleasure called Polyvore!! I found my inspiration in the Cold as Ice collage. I just love the cool blues and greens. I used my new Brilliance Peacock ink for the background and a Rubbernecker Wild Flower #496-03 which was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black. The sentiment comes from Rubbernecker's Love Set #545 and the punched butterfly finishes it off. Now, I just need to win the lottery so I can buy that $5,900.00 purse...LOL!!!

I loved the colors so much that I made another card....

This one features the Stamp Oasis Peacock #770 SO from Rubbernecker and the sentiment from Rubbernecker's Flower Silhouettes Set #467. A template was made for the background square by using a Nestabilities Deckled die to cutout a square from a piece of cardstock and then the Brilliance Peacock ink was brayered on the opening. The peacock was stamped over the background and the ribbon is the finishing detail. Pretty simple but it makes a big statement!!
These cards are also for a few other challenges:
1. Blogger's Challenge - Wings and Things
2. Crafty Catz Challenge - Something new (Brilliance ink pad)
3. Crafty Cardmakers - No floral embellishments

Thanks for stopping by on this wonderful saturday morning...I hope you have a fantastic day!!!!
