Feeling blue...

but not in a bad way!
This was a photo that I took just the other day.........
This was the sky over my house - isn't it just amazing! What a stunning shade of blue..... so inspiring.....
I had been asked by a friend to make a silver wedding anniversary card for her to give to a special friend and using the sky as my inspiration - this is what I came up with...


This butterfly die is one of my favourite, I just love the detail on it.
I also love the embossing folder that is in the background....... I made another blue card for another commission too, but I'll show you that another day (the photos are still on my phone! lol)
I'm off to brave the Edinburgh Festival with Kris today - I think I must be mad!!!
Be back later on to see what you have all been up too....
Have a craft filled day x
