Today’s card is my design team make for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

For Challenge #187 we have a sketch challenge!

I have used the Country Woods designer series paper to create the background, layering the strips on to some Crumb Cake cardstock!

This ribbon is no longer available, but Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon would work well too.

For Challenge #180 we are using a colour challenge for all our projects!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

Whilst the greys are sombre colours that lend themselves to sympathy cards, they can still make something beautiful.

I’ve worked with four shades today, this sample uses the warmer Gray Granite and Pebbled Path. You can see the difference in the look with cool shades Basic Grey and Smoky Slate below.

I chose to work with the Layers of Beauty decorative masks.

The large image was die cut and added to complementary card bases and layered panels. The bright white was knocked back with the residual ink on my blending brush.

The sentiment was cut with a die or punch with a touch of ribbon behind and finished with some grey pearls.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
