Just playin the blues!!!

Well hey there,
Bet you wondered where I had gone!!!Been busy busy and sadly not all crafty busy, but I did have time to have a little play...so here she is...a teeny tiny quicker project..playing with the blues:
I started by crackling this little notebook and once dry I coloured using various blue distress inks.When these were dry I stamped script randomly over the cover using faded jeans, which I haven't used for ages and only found when rummaging for another colour, well what yummy colour!!I added some Tim tissue wrap, so hooked on this I had to have the other design!!!I had pre coloured the tissue wrap with picket fence distress stain and DI, then added some script stamp.The flower as made from grungepaper and I used a flower stamp from The Artistic Stamper set flower power to make it.I inked and spritzed with perfect pearls mist in turquoise and blasted with my heat gun!
Those of you who stopped by woyww, will have seen some flowers, my first in progress, and oh dear have I started something mow!!!!I am hooked....these are so fab!!!
Anyway, onwards.
I made the leaves from coloured tissue wrap and used a leaf stamp from the Artistic stamper and some crystal stems. To finish I added an Eco board, coloured with DI and sentiment added...I love this sentiment!

The little butterfly is the final addition, again coloured using DI and perfect pearls...
Thanks for stopping by! I will be back on Wednesday with my third offering for visiting artist at Gingersnaps,ooh and woyww....see you then, I hope!
