Thankful for You .....

.... Morning!  Bev from Uniko is sponsoring the new challenge over at Time Out Challenges and I've got a card to share with you.  The challenge at Time Out is "Make Your Mark" with a twist of monochrome if you want.  Well, I had to go with the monochrome look and here's my card:

Stamps: Uniko - Flower Power #5, Background Builders Squared
Inks: Kaleidacolour - Blue Breeze; Versamark
Dies: Lil Inkers - Dual Stitched Rectangles #1 and #2
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Stampin' Up! DP - Pacific Point; Blue Satin Mirri Card; Staedtler Aquarell Pencils; Silver Embossing Powder

I used a couple of challenges in creating this card.  The layout is based on the sketch from this week's Just Us Girls Challenge - JUGS#308, although I did turn it to make it horizontal.  And BLUE is the cue word over at Addicted to CAS - ATCAS#71.

I started by masking off the sides of the card and stamped the background builder stamp repeatedly.  I used Kaleidacolour blues to give some variation in the colours.  I die cut a satin blue mat layer and on the white panel stamped a simple flower, embossed it with silver and coloured it with watercolour pencils.  I finished the front with a simple sentiment.  On the inside I cut a mat layer of blue design paper and added some more blue flowers to the white panel, leaving lots of space for my own message.

Do check out the blog to see what the rest of the team have made.  Bye for now!
