Blue and green
The challenge at the Speedy Fox & Friends challenge is to make a blue and green card. They are two of my favorite colors, together or apart, so I had to play! I decided to use a shade of blue that is almost impossible to find nowadays - everything has gone to the green-blue, aqua tones, instead of this sky blue, Wedgewood blue, country blue that I so love. I have a few ancient printed papers with this color and that's what I used, pairing them with this fresh spring green. Here's my card:
supplies: blue, green, and white cardstock, DCWV blue stripe, various blue printed papers, flowers from Hero Arts CL527 Stitched Frame and CL496 Layered Flowers, Memory Box Meadow Leaf die, sentiment from Northwoods stamps, VersaFine onyx black ink, Martha Stewart doily edge punch, Sizzix little flower embossing folder

Those are gorgeous tones of blue and green together! Darling card.
What a pretty card... LOVE the blues and the embossing.
I love that sentiment! I used something similar on a friendship book for my 'bezzie mate'. Those flowers are just gorgeous! I am really enjoying my visits - your work is lovely! jenx
A perfect "Lin" card. It is just so you Lin. Love the blue you chose. Such a pretty shade.

Lin, your card is beautiful! Love the shades of blue and green that you chose. Lovely design and sentiment. Thanks for joining us at Speedy Fox and Friends challenge this week. Enjoying the cooler weather? I know that I certainly am.
So pretty, Lin! That shade of blue is very difficult to find; glad you have some in your "stash"! I just sent in four cards using cobalt and lime (BoBunny dots) with white. Crossing my fingers :)

Green and blue is one of my favorite color combinations, too. I really like the embossing on this card and it all is so perfectly color coordinated.
