A Touch of Blue

I love getting inspiration from others then seeing where it will take me.  I started with this card by Steffi - love that triple layered flower.  First I pretty much replicated it, but with the supplies in my stash.

I was trying a different embossing paste, and it turned out more cream than white. Then I decided to add some bits and pieces that were already on my desk... cream leaves, the frames left over from this card. I mounted it with beige foam to give extra interest.

Lucky these cream gems from Pretty Pink Posh had just arrived. A perfect fit.

The 2 together ...
