Blue and Brown

These just have to be my colour combination at the minute, and the addition of the Ella Blue paper pad that I have makes for some lovely looking cards.

Today I'd like to show you this simple card - not too embellished, but I still like it.

Because of the lovely pattern on the papers, I didn't want to hide it too much, so decided on a punched border, and die cut lettering.

The larger border that goes across the middle is a punch that I don't often use. It's a bit wide for me really, but I thought it looked lovely just to add a flash of colour across the middle.

And here's my little sweetheart. Isn't she the cutest? And talking about cute... look here -

I'd like you to meet my new little Dragon friend.. as yet, he doesn't have a name, so if you can think of one let me know and I'll pick a winner for a little Blog Candy. I couldn't resist Mr Dragon when I saw him. He sits in my craft room with my other two, only he's got magnetic feet and hands so he often hangs from the filing cabinet.. lol.

I'd like to enter my card into the Passion for Promarkers Challenge this week, which is for a Blue/Pink and Brown card.
