Monochromatic with Indigo Blu

Hi Folks
Can't believe how quickly time is flying by at the moment.  We are already into May.  Another four weeks and I will be going on my holiday to Turkey.  I am so looking forward to it.

Today's card share was made using a free indigo blu stamp set that I got recently in a crafting magazine.


The main image was stamped in purple ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  I inked around the edges with some distress ink and matted onto dark purple card.  For the background I used the flourish stamp that came with the set and randomly stamped around the edge.  I then softened the edges with some more distress ink.  The little words are from the sentiment.  I added some paper flowers from Sweet Lilac Paper Flowers, some punched butterflies and gems. 

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.

This is gorgeous, Mags! I have that magazine, too, it's one of my favourites because the gifts are usually pretty good, and there's lots of inspiration, too.

But I must say, I prefer your card to the ones demonstrated in the magazine!!
