What Colour Do You Love?

Hello Everyone! Today is the beginning of another wonderful challenge over at Card Crafter's Circle. It's to do a monochromatic card. The design team has a beautiful rainbow to share with you so do pop over to check them out and to be inspired to join us! Click HERE!

For my part I've chosen the colour blue....because that's my favourite! I've coloured this wonderful young lady with my prismas and added some dark blue marker to the wrist corsage for a deeper colour.  I inked the edges with windflower blue ink and matted it to some cardstock from Stampin' Up.  The lovely patterned paper is from K&Company and the pearl flourish is from Recollections.  I created a bit of a corsage for her of flowers from my collection layered over some ribbon that I glued down in folds.  I added a little circle tag from Portafolia and for a final touch I added some rhinestones to the corners and one to her hairbow.
I'm going to be giving this card to a sweet young lady who's graduating from grade 7 and heading into the big world of High School.  She's going to have a fun ceremony and dance at her school and has a dress all picked out to wear and I thought this was fitting.  Plus she loves blue, just like me!
I don't know if you've noticed, but I do love designing with a primary colour often.  How about you? Do come join us in our challenge, there are many colours in the rainbow to choose from!  This week we are sponsored by the talented Stamp-N-Doodle and they are putting up a prize of two of their fabulous images for the winner!

Now for a final pic.....

Thanks for dropping by! I pray for each of you a day with vibrant colour!

The Future is just Beginning!

Hi again! This is my third post today...I'm sorry to pop them all on you at once.  This is a card that I made for my best friends son who graduated last night from high school.
For me I always think of it as the future is just beginning, because that's when often one steps out on their own and things are fresh and new.  I remember the excitement and trepidation at this step but thankfully I had the wonderful love and support of my family and the Lord Jesus to guide and direct me.  I pray that this young man will meet the Saviour Christ Jesus and follow in His footsteps.
I'm going to be sharing this card with Vicki over at Stamp Smiles!
