Winter Blues

Hi everyone, not much blue around here but lots of grey! 

However, Try It On Tuesday's new theme is Winter Blues and there are lots of ways it can be interpreted!                                  Please do take a look at the Design Team's inspiration here!

I decided on a card for a Winter birthday coming up soon.

This coneflower stamp by Crafty Individuals beautiful whatever colour it is. I stamped the CI background using Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink and added some text stamping on top.

The cone flower, one of Sharon Bates's designs was stamped with Versafineclair ink and clear embossed before colouring with Inktense pencils and a water brush.

I had to search for a backing paper I was happy with and all I added then was a sentiment circle that I have had for ages inked around the edge.

As usual our theme runs for two weeks and we look forward to seeing your own Winter Blues - any kind of crafting is acceptable as long as it fits our theme.

Thanks for looking, Chris
