Sorry I am so late posting my card for this week's Basic Grey Challenge. We've been out trying to buy fish again for our new aquarium, but after having the water tested it seems it's still too alkaline.........GRRRRRR! Now we have to wait another week!
Anyway, this week at Basic Grey the brief is to make a card or project using black, grey and one other colour of your choice. There really are some lovely colours to put with black and grey which my team mates have expertly demonstrated, so hop on over and take a peek. You might just see a combo you like. The cards are stunning and all so different too! We also have a guest for May and she has created a beautiful example.
Can you believe I actually chose to make a male card!! It's all Judy's fault, lol, as she sent me a gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamp in with my blog candy and I just couldn't wait to ink the little chap up. So then when I was thinking of colours and papers I thought orange would look cool. I've used some offcuts from the Offbeat and Ambrosia ranges this time. Do you like the little silver discs I added? They're washers from the hubster's shed!! Well, waste not want not, lol!
Materials:
Image - Sugar Nellie
Sentiment - Studio G
Clock Stamp - Debbie Moore
Stitching Stamp - Aud's Designs
Papers - Basic Grey Offbeat and Ambrosia
Colouring - Copics
Embossing - Cuttlebug Stripes
Embellishments - Washers from the hubster's shed
Accents - Distress Inks for edging
I'll be back in the morning with my Colour Create card - I really hope you'll join us this week for Mina's choice...... it's a yummy colour combo!
