Colour Creations: Grey Granite

 Hi!

Thanks for joining me once again for the new Colour Creations Showcase. This week (I lose track of the week number) we are looking at Gray Granite. I want to say grey, but SU has said it's gray - it must be one of those colour/color, mum/mom things! Either way, it's a lovely soft grey that is a fabulous neutral.

I was all set to make a masculine card with Gray Granite, but somehow it morphed into a very feminine card!

I really love the soft grey paired with Whisper White, and so I didn't even consider using anything else this week. I've seen houses painted in this combo, and I absolutely adore it. I started with the split panel under the daisy. It was noted last week that my Granny Apple Green card didn't use an embossing folder, so I have made sure I used on this week. Subtle is fabulous for either masculine or feminine cards. I embossed the whole panel and then cut it into four pieces, adhering each to a Whisper White layer. You will have to trust me on the four pieces - one is hidden under the daisy.

The daisy has six layers- three of each of the two different punched shapes. I much prefer the fuller look. The petals are slightly curved up, and I've finished it off with some Silver Glimmer Paper. The leaves were cut using the Poppy Moments Dies. I flipped one over and cut from the back side of the Glimmer Paper so that it would curve in the other direction. This suited my layout a little better. A sentiment from Well Said finished off the front.

I couldn't decide on a sentiment to go on the inside, so I have left it blank for now. I can easily add one (or not) when I decide to use the card. I had one last die cut leaf, so that will do for decoration for now.

Bye for now,
