Shades of Blue





The challenge at 52CCT is to use shades of blue, I have combined this with a new die bought in the sales after Christmas.
We have had miserable weather here first the high winds which left us without power on Friday for about 14 hrs then yesterday some snow, which is still lying.

Hi Meg, what a gorgeous card, it certainly is a beautiful die. Lovely background embossing too.
We had snow last night, but rain today has washed a lot of it away, blinking freezing though. Keep safe and cosy, hugs Kate x

I think this is really elegant. Lovely shimmer on the backing paper and the embossed pattern is lovely. I do like the pretty blue poinsettia and die cut sentiment. Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT this week!
