Kazan from 2 Sketches 4 You sketch

I wasn't trying for a monotone card but just wanted to use the colour blue, so with the Laura Ashley paper being the starting point I went with it! I am loving these stamps by Kim Hughes they're so pretty and versatile! The background I used a tracer to create faux stitching and Tim's distresser for edges and sanded a little!

Materials:
Paper: Laura Ashley collection, DCWV textured, cream card,
Die's: Sizzix ornate frame, flower charms, flower layers,

Stamps: Silhouette Blooms II Stamp Set,

Ink: Primary Colourbox - blues

Other: blue,white,grey felt, PM brad, tracer, Tim's edge distresser, 3D foam.
