Blue Skies

Happy Sunday all,

The card I have to share with you today is quite appropriate because today in London with have blue skies and sun!


I have been wanting to use this Verve stamp for a while now so when I saw Therese's card here on CAS(E) the sketch inspiration struck me and I knew exactly how I wanted to use it-so thank you Therese!
I was also inspired by the colour combo at Colour Q and this gave me the opportunity to bring a bit more colour to my card by adding this little button.

This paper is kinda cloudy blue but I have added distress 'broken china' ink to the top half of the card to give the effect of a brighter blue above!
The cloud dies are both embossed.
Hope you have a chilled Sunday and get a little crafting sneaked in!
