Second post of the day for our challenge over at Alphabet Challenge where this week we are up to the letter "I" and Caz has chosen to ask us to:

"Ink it Up"

For my card I started with a blue spotted 6 x 6 card the corner stamp is a Clarity stamp which I joined all round with a doodle, the image is a Crafty Individuals stamp which I coloured with some Distress Inks and the sentiment is a Sheena Douglas stamp and I inked them all with a  Memento Ink Pad.

O for Ombre

Good Morning All,

Well I am back from holiday, we had a wonderful time with the family in the South of France, the weather was very hot, the insects were biting, but we still managed to visit the places you should see while on the Cote d'azur, St Tropez, Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo, Antibes and see how the other half live with their enormous yachts and cruisers!!!  We had a super villa with a swimming pool so we were able to have some lovely lazy chill-out days around the pool with plenty of BBQ's.

Anyway back to today and to our new challenge over on Alphabet Challenge blog, where this week our lovely Mari has chosen the theme of:

O for Ombre

(Graduating shades of a single colour) 

I used shades of blue from an American Crafts pad, added a dp from my stash, die cut swirl, die cut flower, sentiment and blue liquid pearls.

Do take a look at the challenge blog to see some great inspiration from the rest of the DT.
