Going grey gracefully with Stampin' Up!

Along with many other LiMettes this week I've been thinking about 'Shades of Grey' as that is the current theme over at Less is More. Stampin' Up has just introduced a gorgeous new grey into its Neutrals colour family, called Smoky Slate, and the challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to give it a whirl! Come and see:


I went with a linear design featuring the Daydream jumbo wheel, a gorgeous art nouveau-style pattern, inked up with Smoky Slate ink.  There are some grey self adhesive strips in the Tag a Bag accessory kit (on page 158 of the new catalogue) and I found some Basic grey bakers twine and another self-adhesive strip in a retired Simply Sent kit left over from this year's Sale-a-bration promotion.


The strips were taped above the inked section and I used my Simply Scored tool to add a bit of scored texture to the paler top strip. Demands were being made on me at this point (!) so I quickly finished with a fussy-cut sentiment and flower from Oh Hello.

Here's what you'll need to make this card

I chuckled as I typed the title of this post as there's certainly no other way I'll be going grey gracefully... After a brief foray into hair tinting I've decided that I'm just going to have to go grey disgracefully and that's that!

See you tomorrow with a really quick card for Three Minute Thursday (and there you were thinking you couldn't get much quicker than today's!)
