We're showcasing BLUE at Pals Paper Arts this week with a Monochromatic Challenge (PPA40)! Today's card features one of my favorite blue shades from Stampin' Up!, Ballet Blue! It also features stamps from not one, but five different stamp sets by Stampin' Up! Wondering where I got those matching star buttons? I made them myself using a Circle punch, some adhesive, the smallest stamp from the Seeing Stars set, and a paper piercing tool!
Now it's your turn! Pull out your supplies and share your "blues" with us at PPA! Post your creation to Pals Paper Arts via Inlinkz by 12:00 Noon CST on Tuesday, May 4th. I can't wait to see what you make and you might just be a Pals Paper Arts Artist Pick! Come "play along" at PPA!
All supplies used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Hello Again, Enjoy Every Moment, Seeing Stars, Thinking Happy Thoughts, Celebrate EverythingPaper: Ballet Blue, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Ballet Blue
Tools: Paper Piercing Tool, Mat Pack, 3/4" Circle punch, Uniball White Signo Gel Pen
Extras: Adhesive rhinestones (my embellishment stash), Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals
Love those homemade buttons! They are the perfect touch!

You are rockin' the blues for sure! So many wonderful details from the buttons to the piercing to the bits of bling - and it all works perfectly!

Beautiful Job Margaret! I keep forgetting about the paper piercing template. I have to start using that! It add so much visual interest to the project!
