Hello, my Friends!
Today I'm here so excited about this card. It all started with a Double D - 10th year Birthday (Go Double D!!!), since I'm in need of Birthday cards. Then I strolled over to Triple B - January to see their beautiful inspiration photo with gorgeous blues and whites. As per usual, I took a stroll through my NBUS products and was able to come up with a press plate and die plus a hot foil frame, then got quickly to work.
Here's my card ~
Initially, I tried to foil on the blue cardstock (darker than it appears), but it did not work on the MFT card. I didn't want to waste the beautiful blue cs, so I cut off the foiling to save the outside strips and inside rectangle for another day. I used the "new-to-me" double rectangle frame and foiled in Aura on Hammermill, then foiled the "new-to-me" centerpiece floral too. I colored it with Copics, then cut it using the die. Once I had done this, I realized one strip of blue would be nice behind the floral piece, but lo and behold, if I used the floral die again, I could also fill in the inner circle with the remaining blue -- cool! Sentiment pressed, cut and mounted.
Now, the Bonus! After photographing my card (trying out a new light, which is why I got so many other colors in the foiling), I read Marcia's latest post. Ta Da -- bonus challenge with Color Hues #125 - Blue and White! Yay!
ETA: I was invited by Carol to join them over at Inspirational #359 - Shades of Blue
Supplies:

Thanks for the visit, have a blessed day!
Hugs,
TK

So gorgeous with the beautiful colors! I love the blue too!
This is so gorgeous, TK. The blue center makes the flowers shine and speaking of shine, you got a terrific photo of all that shine.
Super pretty card, TK! The foiling is so pretty.
YOu used the blue prompt so nicely. The foiling always makes a splash too. The framing is fab. Also, love the background of your blog page. Just noticed it. Been mia for a bit again.
Well, if this isn't a show stopper, TK. Love the shiny foil too! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues.
