The Cure for the Winter Blues

Over at Moxie Fab World, Cath has set us a new challenge to use the up and coming navy blue.  Several of her photo inspirations made me think of this new Hero Arts background stamp called Leaf and Floral  Background. Then I remembered thinking when I first saw it that this medallion from an older set would be a good match for it.  So here was my chance to try their pairing.  What do you think?


supplies: white and Bazzill Basics Admiral cardstocks, Hero Arts CG405 Leaf and Floral Background, CL401 Speckled Ornaments, chipped sapphire distress ink, Nesties Labels Eighteen, Recollections Floral Embellishment, 3D foam squares

That is one of my favorite "older" stamps from Hero Arts, Lin!! I use it all the time. And, it looks beautiful paired with the new background stamp. So happy to see that blue and navy are coming back into the crafting world. My favorite color!!
