I did work in my basement yesterday, getting rid of some junk, but I'm not black and blue from it. I named the card that because the WT for Thursday was to use black and blue. I have been contemplating this card since that day. It's also for the F4A yesterday-a celebratory card. I have several spring time birthdays.
I was fascinated with this print because there is supposed to be a ghost in it. So I had to use the Lindy's spray called screamin' banshee black. The scallops are stenciled on black with a blue glitter paste by Cosmic Shimmer; I know they look a bit green but they surely are blue. I fussy cut them out and added them to the sprayed background. The butterflies are wall stickers from the $1.25 store; I thought they were so pretty, almost like batik. If anyone loves them, I can send some, I have lots. Some of my blues are a bit purple or green but overall, I think this looks like a black and blue card. Thanks for all the challenges!

So happy you are not black and
blue. When thinking about that challenge that is something that came to mind, black and blue all over. Love your scallops, background and pretty butterflies. Super card.
