Blue Patchwork Card


 In the previous post, I mentioned that I found a forgotten pack of colored cardstock and matching envelopes in 4 different colors, so today I'm sharing  the blue version. I just used random snippets of blue designer papers and added a retired SU! birthday sentiment, then added 3 little gemstones from Gina Marie Designs. It was simple and quick to put together once I figured out the measurements so I made patchwork cards in all 4 colors. I'll post the pink and green versions in the future.

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!

I love this even more than the one in your previous post . . . that's because my fave colour is blue . . . especially light blue!

You are so clever, dear Carol, such great idea measure the scraps you used to make this beautiful patchwork design, so you can easily make not only one or two, but FOUR versions of it!! This one in blue tones looks so sweet and peaceful, love the gingham and can't decide if love more this or the previous card! Waiting to see the pink and the green versions!
Sending hugs and love on your way, dear friend! Have a great weekend!

So love this idea and your wonderful layout with these patchwork swatches! I think this would be such a nice way to pull out the papers and just relax of piecing some together! Love the blues/teals...they go great with purple! LOL

This is so effective Carol, you might even inspire me to dust off some of the DP's I often but but just to stroke!
