Gray Birthday

I hadn't used this stamp in forever, but a friend borrowed it and when she returned it, it made me want to use it:) So, here it is.

The main stamp is from an old retired Stampin' Up set called Garden Collage. I stamped it in Going Gray, colored it lightly with Copics and matted with gray. I mounted it on foam squares. The sentiment was stamped in black and is from a Papertrey set.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Beautiful card. Never would have thought to put gray with it. It sure works though!

This is really pretty and delicate, Lynette. I love the text background and how you've just picked out the butterfly and flower, but in such a subtle way. Beautiful.

Thanks for your lovely comment - so glad you're enjoying our journey to our new house! I watch a lot of house renovation progs on TV and going over budget seems to be a natural part of the process lol! We are in good company, at least! I don't think it will be anything too serious, but it would have pleased me greatly to have remained within budget.

LYNETTE, Neat card, I love the background gray square paper. Who makes this or is it a background stamp?

I haven't brought out this stamp in forever either. I love the CAS way you displayed the image. I guess I will have to see if I can find my stamp now!

Using the grey is such an AWESOME change! I need to remember that there are other colors that black!

I still have this stamp, too. I look at it now and then and one of these days I'll get it out and do something with it. Love it in the soft gray tones. Beautiful card!
