Anyhow...long story short...I found this on SCS
....and I cam up with this.....
Given that the majority of angles in the card were square or rectangular (do you thing I over-thought that a bit too much??), I changed the scallop circle for that of a hand cut rectangle. I also have done one with an oval greeting, but it is sitting in bits at the mo....awaiting its assembly!! I love the fact it has a monotone feel (yes I am aware there are 3 tones used!!) and I also used RIBBON!!!! Woo hoo!! Thanks to Nicole for giving me some stuff that put me out of my comfort box and using a colour I'm not that familiar with.
Hope your mojo is on full thrusters and I'll catch you again soon.
Stuff used:
CS: (SU) Basic Grey, basic black, Whisper White, Basic Grey (Pretty Patterns II pack)
Ink: (SU) Basic Grey
Stamps: (SU) Great Friend
Bits: (SU) 1/4 " Black grosgrain ribbon, adhesive rhinestones fm stash, CP1 - 1/4 " circle (for the corner things) .

Gorgeous job - I think greys are always sooo classy - and you've not proven me wrong! I love getting the little insights into how your brain works too - LOL.

I too have some grey papers and haven't used them. You have inspired me to give it a go... though at the moment my mojo is just too tired!! LOL. I keep saying "Next week will be better" but at the moment I am just pooped - the reason I am reading blogs rather than making cards. It's such lovely weather for making cards, isn't it, but I just can't get there. And I have so much new stuff to play with - I always go a bit overboard when there are free stamp sets to be had. Need to get my new circle cutter out and give it a go!! But I've said enough... will have a look at some more of your pics!! Cya!
