Hi again!

Welcome to Week 2 of the Art With Heart Team - Colour Creations Showcase.

If you are just joining me, this week our creation divas are exploring the Stampin' Up! staple colour - Basic Gray and helping you discover what an amazing, versatile colour it is!

At the very bottom of my post you will find all the links to all the creators, or if you get lost or a link is broken you can go back to gorgeous Cathy's blog here and get all the links there. 

We would love you to check out everyone's work and leave us some feedback in our comments.

I have chosen to use Basic Gray as the base card and the main mat layer (Ornate Layer Die frame) on my cards. The image and sentiment are also stamped with Basic Gray.  For such a dark gray, it is a truly versatile colour.  AND I have actually cased the card from page 1 of our brand new catalogue. The card in the catalogue is made with Just Jade, but I have switched it out for Basic Gray.

All the products I have used are in the thumbnail picture grid if you scroll down, but in summary I have used the Ornate Garden Suite and teamed it with Rococo Rose and some of the purples from the Stampin' Up! range - Highland Heather Stampin' Blends and Pretty Posy scallop linen ribbon.

The sentiment is from Butterfly Gala stamp set and the label die is from the Ornate Label Dies.

I just love that one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies fits perfectly inside the Ornate Layer Die.

How beautiful is the inside front of the card with that beautiful embossing? And don't forget to stamp inside too!

Rococo Rose is probably my most used Stampin' Up! colour from the last 12 months and I was SOOOO pleased to see these scallop linen ribbons carry over into our new catalogue.

Don't you just love all the textures and the simplicity of this card? And it could be used for so many different occasions.

If you would like to see what my Art With Heart friends have been making, off you go now to Cathy's blog.
