Hello and Welcome my lovely Crafty Friends. This week we are featuring Gray Granite as our colour. Not an easy one for me to work with, to dull for my liking. Gray Granite is part of the Neutrals Collection of Stampin' Up! Colours it has a slight beige tinge to it. But I teamed it up with Basic Gray to create my card. As I think this is a colour more suited to a Male card, this is what I made.
I started with a Gray Granite card base that if deckled the bottom edge on. I then cut out 4 layers of deckled rectangles alternatively in Basic Gray and Gray Granite. With the smallest as Gray Granite I then set about giving my sky the stormy look using Fresh Freesia to give the effect of storm clouds, and using Balmy Blue for the sea. I stamped my sail boat from the Let's Set Sail Bundle and added the birds. I stamped the message from the Celebrating You Stamp Set. Finishing off the front with some Iridescent Rhinestones to make it look like rain drops.
As always my insert is plain I layered 2 more deckled rectangles and stamped my sentiment in Memento ink.

Great masculine card, Di. I love your choice of Fresh Freesia, over Gray Granite, to create storm clouds. A few of us discovered that yellows go well with Gray Granite (I agree, not an easy colour to use on its own)!
ReplyDeleteI love your 4 layers of alternate Basic Gray and Gray Granite deckled rectangles - it gives such a lovely effect for you masculine card, Di. Your Iridescent Rhinestones are perfect for rain drops.
