I made this card right after I received my Delightful Dahlia's set last month, but I wasn't going to post it because I didn't like it enough. Something is just not quite right about it, but when I saw the most recent PTI Princess challenge by Val I knew it would be the perfect fit. "Neutrals only," she declared, "No color."
I can't take credit for the LO, it is basically CASEd from a card I saw 3 years ago now. Don't ask me where I saw it, or who made it, but I apparently sketched the LO onto a scap paper I recently found while cleaning my studio. I know it was almost 3 years ago because the scap of paper was the back of a 1st grade school paper that my now 4th grader must have brought home!
I tried to color a white button with a grey Copic, but it wasn't the perfect shade, so I covered the button with CS instead! You can also see the scalloped border on the bottom of the sentiment panel a bit better here. I was pleased to use some old eyelets too...remember those? *grin*
Thanks for stopping by on this wonderful Wednesday!

Some of the 'no color' cards are so striking as is this card!! Love the neutrals.
I don't know why you think this doesn't "work" - I think it's a lovely card. I like how it's all neutral - very striking!

This came out gorgeous! Love the contrast on this.
Ooh! Really clean and nice. I love neutrals, but it's so hard for me to use them in a card. I always feel like it *needs* a pop of color. You proved me wrong..this card is great!
