Wishing you blue skies

Our theme at Lasting Memories this week is "Wishing you blue skies" - and the challenge is to create a layout using blue and white.

Blue is one of my favourite colours, so I loved this challenge!  I based my layout on the current sketch at Swirlydoos:



I coloured the flowers and the leaves with paint and glitter to tie it all together:



I'm also submitting my layout for:
* Scrapbook Fantasies - Weekly Challenge #21 - Create a layout using leaves
* Scrap our Stash - Stash Challenge - Create a monochromatic layout using five different embellishments (flowers, leaves, pearl flourish, alphabet stickers, rubons)
* Scrap Challenge Yourself - Oh boy! 
* Just Two Midwest Girls - Let's Go Monotone

Materials:
Bazzill Basics cardstock
UHK Gallery Winter is Coming - Wheel of Fortune patterned paper

Prima Nieve - Crysanthemum paper flowers
Prima leaves
Prima Say it in Pearls flourish
Making Memories Scrapbook Color - Cornflower acrylic paint
