A grey day!

A grey day doesn't mean there's no sunshine here - just the opposite in my case!  I've embraced my love of grey and found a few challenges that would welcome it!  Let's start with Color Hues #143 where grey can be used as a neutral along with Tracey's chosen color duo:



Take note of the background as it will qualify my card for the
'Patterned Background' square on my Crafty Bingo card!
It was made using a rubber mat and Altenew's Curtain Leaves cover die - a gift from Bobby many years ago. [I found a way to make it work, my friend - thanks again!]
These fabulous branches and berries are part of the Altenew Fall Pickings layering
die set.

Up next, a card made for Therese @lostinpaper after her LIVE this week
where she created a Christmas card using a few different leafy die sets.


It all began with the embossing folder included in my CYL Expressive Flora set
from Altenew.  I swiped those gorgeous, embossed leaves with Moonrock ink.
Then adorned my arch with die cut leaves and a bright red bow from Altenew and pine boughs and eucalyptus from HoneyBee.  


The remnant I was left with - another Crafty Bingo square: Arched Border...


Altenew: Perfect Poinsettia EF and a sentiment from their Modern Poinsettia set.
You may not catch it, but I used a silver paint pen to add shine to their centers
and TH silver embossing for my sentiment.

That, my friends, was my Friday!  Have a wonderful, crafty weekend!
