Monochromatic Blues

Here's a card that I'm entering into several challenges this week:

supplies: 2 shades of blue and an ivory cardstock, Cuttlebug "Victoria" embossing folder, Hero Arts CG291 Three Dotted Flowers, F5042 Leaf Flourish, Verve VS-0144 Bloom & Grow, versamark ink and white embossing powder, Adirondack Stonewashed ink, Nesties Labels Four, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, pearls

Joan's Gardens is a new challenge for me, and I loved making this according to her specifications, to use an embossed background, and to incorporate flowers, flourishes and butterflies, all things that work nicely together.  

The Shabby Tea Room's current challenge is to go monochromatic: only one color with a neutral.

At Mark's Finest Papers, we are to use monochromatic blues.

And finally, I'm also entering this into Hero Arts Fabulous Flowers challenge, running all month long.  This is my current favorite flower, and the leaf flourish is an old favorite - I like them paired up!
