Well I just wasn’t done with this Pebbled Path color so i added it to my More Color Monday Color Challenge! I paired it with Gray Granite and Misty Moonlight which also has that gray dusky tone so they all work really well together!

Were you a coloring book girl when you were little – I was but it is tedious for many people and this card is a great way to use a stamp set without having to color the flowers – who knew that flowers look stunning in neutral shades of gray!!!

Measurements:
BASE: Pebbled Path 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Gray Granite layer 4″ x 5 1/4″
scraps of Misty Moonlight and basic White
for the sentiment

I stamped the long sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts in Misty moonlight on a scrap strip of Basic White and punched it using the Banners Pick a Punch on both ends.
Adhere it to a wider strip of Misty Moonlight and cut the edges in the Banners Pick a Punch as well to match the Basic White layer.
Stamp the large roses in Pebbled Path ink onto the Gray Granite layer.
Adhere the Misty Moonlight Inner Braided ribbon around the Gray Granite layer and pop up the sentiment piece on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the layer.
Adhere the Gray Granite layer to the Pebbled Path card base.
I added Iridescent Pearls to finish off the card but decided I wanted a butterfly! It is ok to redesign a card in the middle if it doesn’t look finished to you – feel free to experiment!
I moved the Pearls and added a butterfly that I colored with Misty Moonlight ink and a Blending Brush to finish the card!

Try a tone on tone look for your next creation – no go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

Welcome to another More Color Mondays – I am back from wedding weekend and settling into stamping and back to life after a big event! I noticed that I still have the wedding on my mind because the colors I choose are a variation of the wedding colors! Navy and Champagne is close to this trio so enjoy today’s color challenge and if you play along make sure to upload a picture of your creation to my Facebook comment section for these colors or similar ones you have in stock! Misty Moonlight has been a new neutral staple for me I am loving this color and pairing it with Crumb Cake is a favorite of mine – this time I added the soft tones of Petal Pink and I love the pop of subtle color it adds to these two favorites of mine!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Misty Moonlight layer 4″ x 5 1/4″
Scraps for dies:
Basic White, Petal Pink and Crumb Cake

Using the two small rectangular die pieces in the Christmas Classics set – die cut lines of perforated holes into the Misty Moonlight layer.
Wrap the Inner Braid Misty Moonlight ribbon around the edges of the Misty Moonlight layer and adhere to the back of this layer. Then adhere the ribbon wrapped misty moonlight layer to the Basic White card base.
Die cut the holly decorated sentiment piece in Basic White and two leaf stems also in Basic White. Die cut two holly leaf die cuts from the Crumb Cake scraps. Ink the “making spirits bright” sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink and stamp in the center of the sentiment die cut.
Pop up the sentiment piece onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and add the crumb cake holly leaves and the white leaf stems to the back of the sentiment piece and adhere over the ribbon.
Die cut two smaller leaf stems from Petal Pink CS scraps and Holly berries as well. Adhere around and under the sentiment piece to add the pops of color!
Add some embellishments and the More Monday Color challenge card is complete.
