Brocade blue, brilliant blue, bordering blue! And white dashe lines to mimick stitches from jeans :)
This is such a pretty combination. Hope you like my idea!
Navy is not a color I usually grab for because it is so bold, but the photos you shared were so fresh and inspirational! It was fun to pull out my Navy and put it to work! Thanks Cath!

I don't really have navy things in my stash. Did find a navy pre-scored card base. The dress my lady in blue is wearing appeared navy until I printed it out. Anyway I had fun playing with the color blue. Not a color I normally use.
Great inspiration and I love the color combination of blue and white, very stylish.
My first Moxie Fab challenge... thanks for the inspiration!

Just wondering if you can post more than one card for the challenge...thanks (I'm having alot of fun with it)
I love to ward off the winter blues by scrapbooking! I created a navy blue themed layout using a kit called "Pemberley" from Close to my Heart! It was a lot of fun to play along with this challenge!
