TUESDAY'S COLOUR CHALLENGE AT THE OUTLAWZ


Tuesday's Colour Challenge at The Outlawz is to use at least two shades of blue, and white, and to add texture.

Here is my interpretation :


To make this card I used a NEW item in my range of embellishments I sell (see here) - a fancy filigree (gold coloured) metal corner and coloured it using a turquoise and a royal blue alcohol marker.

So it went from this 


to this 


after I added some turquoise and royal blue gems.

A stick on Happy Birthday sentiment, an offcut of organza ribbon and a metal heart charm complete the card.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
