The thinking of you blues

It's Sunday, which can mean only one thing - it's my day to provide some inspiration with all the lovely stock that will soon be available again when we re-open the doors at Make the Day Special Stamp Store.  Whilst the store is closed we're still running an active blog so do follow us to get your daily dose of inspiration.

For my project today I've been inspired by a couple of challenge - winter blues colour theme at Less is More and Die Cuts at Addicted to CAS and for some reason this led me to a sympathy card.

I used my favourite floral set from WPlus9 - Fresh Cut Florals - the add on set to which is currently winging its way across the Atlantic ready to be stocked in the store :-D   I can't wait to get my hands on some more flowers!  I stamped the flowers in blues and the leaves in that blue-green colour of the lambs ear plant (not sure of the real name but I used to love rubbing the white furry stuff off it as a kid!) and then die cut them all out using the matching die set.  I then played florist and arranged them all in a die cut floral urn (Joanna Sheen), using the florists trick of 1, 3 and 5.  I mounted the whole thing on a woodgrain embossed background (sizzix) and then added a sentiment from the same stamp set on a blue-green banner.

I'm not sure such blue flowers really exist but I'm using my artistic licence!
