I took a little break from the UDI Color Challenge but I am back this week with a new card.  Here is the inspiration picture for this week –

And it just so happened that I got my Paper Crafts Magazine in the mail this week too – and guess what they had – a section called Cure for the Winter Blues and it was full of ideas featuring the color blue.  I came across one card that I wanted to try to make into an all Stampin’ Up! card.  I always try to “make-over” the ideas that I like from the magazines.   And this is what I came up with.

And the inside looks like this –

I tried to carry a few elements from the front onto the inside – since the card base was Basic Black I needed to add a Whisper White panel.  I’m not really in love with the inside of the card but I do like how the front turned out.   The front panel was punched on the edge, then stamped with the greeting and then embossed with the Stripes Embossing folder.  I’m not sure that you can see it well in the picture I took but I like how it looks in real life.
