There is a new Colour Challenge over at Gingersnap Creations - shades of blue and as blue is one of may favourite colours I had to make sure I tried this one out (I've been missing a lot of deadlines for challenges I really meant to do, lately!)
I had started the tag without knowing about the challenge, so it's just fortunate!
The paint on the tag is faded jeans distress crackle paint (not new, but never used it before) and I've used some florals die cuts (metal, blue paper from the tim stack (I'm being ruthless about using it now...) , some paperartsy stamps the the stamp on the paper, is crafty individuals.
Just about in the background you can see the TV - Wimbledon is on (now the footie is over till later tonight) and there is a marathon of a match going on - the 5th and final set is stuck, they can't get passed one another - it's currently 39 games each!! To be honest, I've never heard of either player and in all they've been playing over 7 hours (they started yesterday apparently!)
I have used my WOYWW present from Julia now that they've "gone live" - thanks again Julia and Mr D for your craftiness!
This version is just a bit closer in - scanned rather than with the camera -the crackle paint shows up better here. Well, England won the football - much better performance all round, now it looks like it will be Germany up next - fingers crossed again then!!

Fab work Helen, I love the shades of blue you used, and is that a tattered flower I spy? We watched the match here in Florida, I thought they were lucky to get through (said with all the authority of someone who knows sod all about footie :)
big hugs

Everything about this creation is fabulous! There are wonderful textures and embellishments.
Love this - the colours are great and the contrast with the white is fab.

I actually watched it all the way through the other day! I did think they could have scored more and what was up with the pitch? Looked worse than a local park pitch but pleased we got through. Means OH will have another few hours of not working for once!
I know what you mean about the chjallenges - all over Blogland there are comments by me saying 'ooh I really want to have a go at this one' and then time just gets away with me. Grr.
Love this card - the stamps you've used are lovely!
