The Card Concept - #41: Neutrals

I LOve neutrals!  It shouldn't be a surprise to any of you to hear me say this, right?  Some of my favorite creations to date are nearly all grey!  Check out this gorgeous inspiration:

For The Card Concept's Neutral challenge #41  my Clean and Layered card:

#MFT Harvest Mouse and Peek a boo die-
and a panel of Neenah, and SSS Smoke, wood-grain embossed - my favorite!
 
This darling little countrified mouse is right at home with his teensy weensy little pumpkins I've stamped onto wood-grain pattern paper.  I rather like him in his neutral sweater and vest! 
 
I know for a fact it is time to start buying more Copics to add to my collection from friends Jeanne, and Barb ... I've gotten spoiled madly, but not a grey, or brown in the house!  Here I've had to use my old Spectrum Noire alcohol markers.
 
It has been some time since I've linked to Virginia's View challenge - sorry about that V!  I LOve your challenges - even though color scares me to death - will neutrals do?  This one's for you, too!

Thanks for stopping by today - always makes me happy ...

Oh, I love him in his neutral attire--so sweet! I haven't made a card with this set yet but stamped a sheet of images so I could practice coloring. After lots of trial with much error, I think I have decided on colors I like for his fur! Hope to post a card soon!

Your little mouse is so adorable, Michele, peeking through his little mouse hole. Looks like you've conquered your Spectrum Noires for the time being. I agree with Carol. You do do neutrals so well.
