Been a busy week and I have not had time to do much card making until today.

This is Color Challenge 182 which is currently being done on Splitcoast Stampers.  I used only one color ink in this challenge.

Ink: Night of navy
Accessories: faux pearls from pretties kit. Patchy blue background was done with a brayer.

Got a certificate and pin in the mail yesterday. It is signed by Shelli, I am really pleased. I know Shelli was in Australia a week or two ago, she must have done some signing while she was here.
