Study in Blue and Grey

     I started out with these colors to make a sympathy card for some friend who lost their son this week. He had the most beautiful blue eyes so I started with blue in mind. 
     This is the outside of the card-I had this pretty embossed felt and used that for the main panel. The images are stamped with full strength and stamped off ink.

   The next card was made based on the inside and used the same images and inks but with some added rolled ribbon flowers and denim leaves.

   I used the same color scheme to CASE this pretty card from the Featured Stamper at splitcoast this week donidoodle. I did a one layer version and a stepped up version of the card.
