Red, white and Black ...but still Indigo Blu!

I can't quite believe that a month has gone by since the last Indigo Blu Challenge.
I did enjoy the challenge and working in Blues!

This month it is words and phrases that are the focus so I had a look at the stamps I have and found a stamp I hadn't used yet in my box! Well I just had to make use of it for the main image on my card! It is the Ella Bella stamp

I needed a background stamp too and chose the bubbles one. For my words and phrases I chose the new plate of saying B.F.F.

I had an idea in my head and started off by making th ebackground by stamping the bubbles in flitter glu onto black card. I then used winter dawn flakes over this to create the background.


I also stamped in  Cranberry adirondack ink onto the ribbon so it could dry off before making a bow.






I stamped the main image and the two phrases in cranberry. Then I was ready to assemble the card.


 
 
I used an 8x8 card blank and laid all the pieces on to chack the design. Once happy with it all I stuck it all down and here is the finished result.
 
 
I am quite pleased with the result and hope you like it too! Please let me know below what you think.
 
Thanks for dropping by
Happy Crafting
