Feeling Blue?

Here we have another challenge from Just Magnolia...Monochrome! There are a couple of takes on what Monochrome is; shades of all one colour or one colour with white. I tried to use the shade of one colour look! I really hope I did it right! I used sweet Tilda holding all her Christmas presents and just tried to keep to the all blue look using my Lyras and Prismas. I don't know if you can see but I placed a little pearl for earrings on her ear. I'm thinking this card is just a little too plain but I just drew a blank when it came to embellishments!

Have a great Halloween night if you celebrate in your part of the world!

Such a sweet card Christine, sometimes simple is best and it leaves the focus on the pretty image. I love your little touch with the pearl earring too!

She is so pretty. I love the blues. You are getting away from the greens. A tough challenge to do, but your card is perfect. She is colored so softly. I love it.
