Blue,Cream and Gold


Here's the card that I wasn't sure would work, its for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge of Blue, Cream and Gold.
I decided to use the gold papers from the Wisteria pack of BG which I don't use and although there was a bit of blue in them wasn't sure it would work with the blue cardstock. But I think it's OK and I used the fab sketch from Sketch and Stash. I've used a couple of MS punches and I backed the zigzag one with blue card. No flowers but I did stretch to a bit of ribbon with a knot but I thought it would work for a chap, well almost.
It did try to Snow and lay but thank goodness it didn't, so want to got to MJ crop which as been reschedule for this Saturday.
Remember I did a layout about my goal for 2010 and one is to see the Grand Canyon well my son as booked the flights, we fly to Las Vegas in September and fly back home from Los Angeles ten days later, it's all a bit scary since Renee always does our tours and she is staying home this time.

Wonderful card Debby, I love it! So glad your goals for this year are happening. I've been to the North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon before and it's an amazing place. LA is really cool and Vegas is just, well, Vegas! There's absolutely nothing in the world that prepares you for it!! It's incredible at night and I insisted on "walking the strip" once in the daytime too, just to make sure the place was actually real!!

Nina said...

Wow! Awesome card, and i just love the colour combo!!

Hugs from Nina

I love this color combo, excellent design, and cute hedgie--a great man-card! I'd love to meet you for lunch when you're in L.A., if we're not in England! We're planning a trip over there--sounds more exciting to us than the Grand Canyon (been there, done that)!
