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

Great design,that background works really well especially as the rest of the design is a different monotone :)
