Colour Creations 2020 #2 - Basic Gray

Our second colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "Basic Gray" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen basic grey, pear pizzazz and poppy parade from the colour coach to work with today for my creation.

Here is my basic gray card from 2018. 

I stamped my poppy petals with the "splat" stamp from painted poppies (in poppy parade) and I love the variation in colour it provides for the flowers. I fussy cut each petal as the splat wasn't large enough to fit more than one petal. I also used it for the flower buds. I used the beautiful stitched lace die to create my basic gray background and its the first time I've given it a go. I look forward to using it a lot more in the future. I used tear and tape behind all my die cut elements to adhere the stitched lace basic gray cardstock onto the whisper white cardstock and when that wasn't possible I used small dots of Tombo adhesive.

This is gorgeous, Ros! What a beautiful background ... and the Poppy Parade flowers and buds are so eye-catching. Beautiful work.

A lovely, vibrant card, Ros. The lacy Basic Gray background looks great with the depth of colour in your poppies. I love the inside of the card!

Oh wow Poppy Parade really pops out at you on the Basic Gray background. That stitched lace die really works well.

Great card Ros and love the use of the Stitched Lace die for the background

The poppies look amazing, Ros, and the lacy background is perfect for them to rest upon.
