Week 3 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - Basic Gray

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 3 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week our colour is Basic Gray. Very interesting colour not one I am keen on I find it a little drab for my taste. But all the same I like a challenge and so I decided I would hop along with week. 

My card is a fancy fold, I don't know what others call it but I call it a Butterfly wings style card as you can see by the photo.

It's a 51/2 inch square card. So I started with a Basic Gray base and added my layers using the Gold Foil Sheet and then the Simply Elegant DSP from the New Annual Catalogue. After cutting my wings and crossing them over the card I added a Square Vellum Doily then my Poppies I stamped my Happy Birthday from the same set and cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. 

I layered these onto the front of the card using dimensionals and finished off with the Silver Metallic Pearls. For my insert I also layered the Gold Foil and Simply Elegant DSP before added the largest of the layering circles for my writing panel in both scalloped and plain, I stamped my sentiment and some more poppies that I coloured using my Write Marker pens. All of my Stamping was done in Basic Gray ink so that it blended.

All of the Items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of the items used please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

  2. I had a bit of a laugh at you calling Basic Gray "drab", Di! I think it's a beautiful grey. :)
    The card you've created is really elegant. The gold touches, and the pop of red, are gorgeous.

  10. Even though you may call Basic Gray drab your card is nothing but that. The gold and red make the card very elegant. Hats off to you doing a fancy fold. I never have the patience.
