CD Sunday Challenge Black and Blue

I am so glad I entered a challenge at CD Sunday a few weeks ago, it has encouraged me to explore my CD's and start using them again. However this weeks challenge of black and blue had me stumped for a while, then I decided to try a box . As this is only the second time I have tried one I was fairly pleased with the result.
