When I saw this effect, I thought of the sea so for my card I've used some light blue tissue paper. I bought a pack of 20 different colours last year for £1.20 and I was so pleased when I found it almost straight away. I've stamped the Sail Away ship by Stampin Up with Ultramarine Stazon before screwing up the tissue paper and sticking it onto a piece of scrap card. an then matted it onto another piece of white scrap. I didn't want the background to be too busy so I've used Stampin Up's The Open Sea set and Versamark to decorate the Brilliant Blue card. The off cut of this is matted onto some white card and I've added a button with some Papermania bakers twine. The sentiment is from another Stampin Up set called Itty Bitty Banners and is stamped on another snippet so I'll be hopping over to add this to the Playground too
