Today, we have week three of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome!
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, basic gray.
I have chosen basic gray, pear pizzazz and poppy parade from the colour coach to work with.
I have used the stunning artistically inked bundle to created a blank/no sentiment card. I love the watercolour effect the large stamp gives for the background with such little effort. After layering a few leaves and flowers you have yourself a very quick and simple card. I raised one of the poppy parade flowers up on dimensional for added interest.
I left the card with no sentiment (as I couldn't decide what to put on it). When I give it away I may put a sentiment on it then.

Beautiful card Ros

I love the Basic Gray "watercolour look" background, Ros (I call that the "blobby" stamp! LOL). How divine does Poppy Parade look, against Basic Gray? Your card is eye-catchingly beautiful!

Stunning card Ros, I love Poppy Parade with Basic Gray

Wow Ros, I love how these colours really pop off the page - I didn't think I needed this stamp set until you shared this card with us

I love how these colours pop. I loved this stamp set before, but now it is on my must have list. Its amazing how sometimes the simplest of cards can look so beautiful. Well done xox

The watercolour effect in Basic Gray is lovely and soft against the brightness of the Poppy Parade florals. A beautiful card Ros!

This is a stunning card Ros just gorgeous! I love the stamped water colour gray behind the Poppy Parade roses to make them really pop, that is really excellent. Just Beautiful

Wow, that looks amazing Ros! Great job!

That background stamping is so cool and effective, especially with those gorgeous Poppy Parade blooms, really popping off the card!

The flowers look fabulous, but that stamped background is wonderful! It's the perfect backdrop for the flowers.

Love the watercolouring in grey, Its very soothing behind the vivid poppy.

Oh wow Ros what a great colour combo. Poppy Parade pops with Basic Gray and I love the watercolour effect

A lovely bright colour combo to go with Basic Gray on your great card Ros.

Stunning card Ros. The lovely bright flowers really pop against the 'water-coloured' background.

Wow! This is so beautiful! it is perfectly balanced. It is perfect without a greeting. that last pic... you could use that as a notecard design and make up a stack of them to use as personal notes to send out just by themselves (like from the desk of...Ros). Very inspiring!! thanks for sharing.
