Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature Thanks Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Basic Gray.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen Basic Gray, Bubble Bath and Highland Heather from the colour coach to work with. 


As it is almost the end of the month, there is only days remaining on the 10% off stamps and die bundle promotion (it ends on June 30th). I thought I'd try using another bundle from that promotion and today's card uses Spotlight on Nature. 
I stamped the left image from Spotlight on Nature in Basic Gray ink onto Basic Gray cardstock to create a tone on tone look. I then adhered a circle from Spotlight on Nature dies on the centre of my card and adhered the floral image which I coloured in with Stampin' Blends and fussy cut. I also coloured in/fussy cut the butterfly as well. I stamped the word "Thanks" from Simply Said stamp set onto Highland Heather cardstock and die cut it out using Nested Essentials dies. I raised both the Thanks sentiment and butterfly up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished the card off with some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  
Inside the card, I used stamped the floral image in Bubble Bath ink and did the same on the envelope.

What a beautiful card, Ros. I don't often use pink and purple together, but I love the look of your two chosen colours with the darkness and drama of Basic Gray. The tone-on-tone Basic Gray stamping, beautiful fussy-cutting, and sponging of the sentiment label are highlights for me. Love your design.

Stunning card Ros, Basic Gray really highlights the flower and butterfly images.

Oh Ros your card is just beautiful and the colour combo you chose is perfect. Great fussy cutting too.

[Sharon Davern]

This card is gorgeous Ros, the Basic Gray brings out the beauty in the Highland Heather and Bubble Bath. Gorgeous!

[Kate Morgan]

Your fussy cutting is faultless and I love that tone on tone stamping in the background. Highland Heather and Bubble Bath are beautiful soft tones to compliment the darker Gray. Lovely!
