more color mondays – misty moonlight, pebbled path and gray granite

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’
