I've used the sketch over at Your Next Stamp Challenge and The Greeting Farm has a lovely picture inspiration that started me on blue, the shaped tiles and also the net background. So it all came together like this......
I deckle edged a panel of pale blue pearlised card (although you can't see the shimmer in the photo) and then wrapped it with a piece of net I bought at a fabric shop near my mum's. I always go in and buy a bit of this and that sure that one day it will be perfect for a card. Today this bit was perfect. The panels were cut using Crafts-Too Frames 7 dies. I rummaged through the never ending scraps and found some card I had covered with various blue DI and then spritzed for a lovely mottled effect and some fabric I had coloured and stamped with various PaperArtsy stamps. Perfect. The Greeting Farm Pretty Hat stamp was coloured with pro-markers. I added a pretty button to her hat and glossy accents to her pearls. The greeting is part of a Kort og Godt stamp which translates to 'It is your day today, congratulations'. I did some tricksy die cutting using the frame 7 dies to get the matching shape on the ends of the banner. The embroidery cord is the same as I used in the button. Matted and mounted and ready to go.

I did think about it Kay but since it's a monochrome challenge she would have needed blue hair and a blue face. Or am I being too purist??
