Shades of Grey

Hi!  It's Saturday afternoon here and I've had a fun and productive day in my craft room.  This card I'm about to show you uses the sketch from Cardabilities - a challenge I've never played along with before - and the neutrals theme at Seize the Birthday.



This card was a real challenge for me!  If you visit my blog regularly, you'll know I don't use patterned paper very often.  This card not only has patterned paper, but four different patterns to boot!  I cut the papers from a pack of paper I bought at the local department store.  

The flowers were stamped using Fog, Smoke and Memento Tuxedo Black inks before being cut out by hand.  The scalloped edge comes from Blueprints 14 and the sentiment is from some NBUS I received yesterday from Papertrey Ink.  The ends of the banners have been curled up slightly for some added interest.




I love this sketch and I'm pretty sure I'll be using it again sometime.  And, wouldn't you know it, I've only now just realised that the banners are meant to go above the scalloped panel.  Doh!  Sorry, Cardabilities team!

Thanks for visiting.
