Not feeling very motivated this week, too many other things on my mind I suppose. While mooching about "tidying" I came across my box full of pan pastels which I haven't used for a while, don't know why as they make fabulous coloured backgrounds in the twinkling of an eye. I've no idea what colours I used as I just pick and mix at random. The stamps are all from Indigo Blu Victorian Garden set which was a birthday present back in April. I did some second generation stamping to give a bit of depth but it was too faint to show up on here.
I'd like to enter this card into Moving along with the times - Things that Fly
and Cardz4galz - Pretty pastels
Wow! These are both gorgeous cards! I love the pretty backgrounds that you’ve created. The soft pastels work really well and they have given the cards a lovely hazy summer feel… really stunning! :-))
