BC210 and I'm so tired

Happy Friday & Congratulations to William and Catherine!
Did you watch the wedding. Call me Crazy (I know I'm calling myself the same) but I actually stayed up ALL NIGHT to watch every detail live as it unfolded. I went to bed at 6:00am PST and got back up at 7:15 to walk Coleen to school and then headed back to bed for a few hours before getting up again. Needless to say I'm a bit "rummy" this afternoon but it was a lovely wedding and it was history unfolding right before your eyes so I'm not sorry I stayed up to catch the Nuptials.

So today's BC Challenge is a Color Challenge:
Now you will see from my card I used different shades of Green and Blue (more subdued tones)but I kept the Rose color as close to the photo as possible.


My card was done using the current AnnaBelle Sketch:

The card details:
Stamps: Sentimental Bluebells and Backgrounds By Design 3 - AnnaBelle Stamps
Card Stock: Pear Pizzaz, Bashful Blue, Rose Red and Whisper White (also Papertrey Select for the floral panel as it works better for Copic coloring).
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Rose Red and Bashful Blue-SU
Copic Markers: G82, RV32, RV34
Other: Circle Nestabilitie Dies, Moroccan Screen Embossing folder, Rose Red Grosgrain ribbon, Blossom 6mm Sprinkles (AnnaBelle)

Have a great evening, I'm going to bed early!!!

  2. Beautiful card...I love that flower! And I'm jealous! I watch for about an hour and then had to head to work! I kept going on-line and watching the clips...but would love to have watched it all! I regret not taking the day off!

  11. Lovely card, love the flower :)
    I watched the wedding too :) I was tempted to go to see royal couple myself, I live in London, but with our little daughter it was a bit difficult, too crowdy. Beautiful wedding :)

  15. Hi Ida,
    Your card is so pretty - I love the gorgeous colours you have used. I too stayed up and watched the wedding, although here in Australia it was on in the evening so not too late. I cried a couple of times as I have watched Prince William grow up over the years and it made me very sentimental. Also Kate looked just beautiful too!

  17. Congrats on staying up all night. I always wake up at 4:15 a.m. (on work days) so when I got up and turned on the TV, Kate was just leaving the hotel for the church. PERFECT timing.

    Your card is wonderful and I have to say that I'm so impressed that you are STILL doing the blogger's challenge. Good for you!
