SOS Challenge #36 - Winter Blues

Oh boy....after the last week of weather we had here in BC I think this week's Shopping Our Stash Challenge #36 has the perfect title "Winter Blues".  I definitely have them and can't wait for spring!!  But seriously our theme is super simple this week:  Shop your stash and pull out items that are BLUE!  You can have other colors, just be sure to use any shade of BLUE as the primary focus.  Easy, right?

I used all scraps from my scrap bin and this is almost the last of my scraps from this Kaisercraft line which I absolutely love and wish I had more of.  I used one of my spellbinder dies that I've had for a few months now and hadn't used yet and centered my sentiment on top of it.  The digi sentiment is from a Gratitude Set I got from Whimsy Stamps.  It's a great set of digi sentiments that I know I'll use often.  I coloured all of my pearls blue to match with my copic markers & used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Stormy Sky to ink around the sentiment and add some colour to my scrap of lace.  The flower is one I had left in a package from Petaloo.  Super simple this week and NO colouring which made me happy only because it was a hectic week and I had no time to colour.  So will you be playing along with our Winter Blues Challenge this week?  I sure hope so as the rest of the design team have some beautiful creations to inspire you!
