A Blimp (RMH Set)

I've been on a bit of a masculine kick lately with my cards.

I've enjoyed playing with new color combos and making them simple.

And if you talk to anyone who knows me they will also tell you that I am obsessed with chevrons!

I'm going to have to do a week completely dedicated to them!

Back to the card (easily sidetracked I know), I love the blues and the ombre effect!
