MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge - Monochromatic Blue

 

 

This week's challenge theme at MFP Speedy Fox & Friends is monochromatic blue.

 

For my card I used the MFP Stamp Shop Dragonflies stamp set.  I sponged blue ink on the side of the white cardstock panel then stamped the dragonflies and sentiment using blue ink and colored with blue Copic Marker.  Layered the stamped panel onto navy blue cardstock, wrapped twine around and created a multi-looped bow to adhere over the twine.  The finished panel was adhered to the white card base.
