I wanted to make a card using neutrals with some bright pops of colour. The Smoky Slate background paper is from the Neutrals designer series paper stack and I love the way it matches the Smoky Slate card base exactly.
The paper stack contains four different tone-on-tone designs in every single colour in Stampin' Up's Neutrals colour family and I think it's a great investment. Of course the stacks come in all the other colour families too if you're not a neutrals fan!
The topper was made by inking up one of the images from Tag It with markers and cutting it out with the coordinating framelit. Do have a look at this fabulous, versatile stamp set - every time one of these sets is sold, Stampin' Up donates £2 to RMHC which helps families who have children with serious illness stay together during treatment. (Find out more here.)
The inspiration for today's card came from the intriguing colour palette at Colour Me...!
and the sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches.

ReplyDeleteTerrific get well card Vicky . . . but I just loved the tale of your bribery and corruption! Neat! (and TIDY!) xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a little bit of bribery and corruption, oh sorry I meant gentle persuasion can do! And that chair is very comfy, I have it as my crafting chair.

That's not bribery and corruption, Vicky - just utilising your superior negotiating skills!

ReplyDeleteI adore your style in card making and parenting!! Thank you so much for brightening my day!
ReplyDeleteThis is great Vicky love the way it's all put together.
ReplyDeleteGreat bribery story too LOL.
Love the card. Your choice of neutrals with a pop of color was spot on. I'm not too keen on the post title though--Tag! You're Ill! I've been trying hard to avoid all these germy people around, no tagging please!!!! And yes, bribery works well on teens. And well, adults too.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Vicky, love the neutral colourway and the stethoscope! I'm a big fan of bribery and corruption when it comes to boys:)

The pops of color look great against the grey! I also like how you've scored and partially embossed the banner. Thanks so much for sharing your card with us at CAS - Colours and Sketches! I hope you'll join us again soon for another challenge.
ReplyDeleteI read your blog every day. I love your style and often case your cards. BUT my favorite part to read is your little family blurb at the end of your entry. Today, I laughed out loud. I don't call that bribery or corruption.....just good parenting hahaha!!
