What a fun Technique Lover’s Challenge today TLC411! Everyone picks a TLC challenge from 2012! So I went with one I really wanted to try but didn’t have a chance to the first time around..TLC361, Inspired by Belleek! I only used a section of the panel I did using the sky blue ink and the Juli’s Garden embossing folder. I used the same folder on the larger background, just the reverse side. The card stock I used is actually called Tag Board and I used it because it has a warm cream color instead of stark white.
The sentiment and both label designs (Our Daily Bread designs) were white embossed on lt blue c/s and die cut w/ the matching dies. I used several flower punches for my big bloom. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Oh Laurie this is sooooooooooooo soft and soooooooooo pretty! I didn't do this tecnique either. But I may have to try it now that I've seen yours. My fav color is blue, and paired with white, is there anything better? Faving it.

This blue and white card is gorgeous, Julie!! Your Belleek panel looks as if it's a die cut mounted over the light blue, it's that delicate! I love the many layers and your wonderful colors!!
