Merry Monday 104

This week is a color challenge at Merry Monday. We were to use slate and kraft on our card. This wasn't easy for me since I don't really think those colors belong together! But here is what I decided on. The slate is Bazzill and the kraft is...well it's kraft. I used my new Darice snowflake background embossing folder. The ovals are done with Spellbinders and the sentiment, stamped in SU Basic Gray, is from Penny Black. What do you think about the color combo?

Christmas CAS

I was going through some challenge blogs today and found three that work well together. The first one comes from Sparkle Creations to make a Christmas card and use heat embossing if you want. I didn't heat emboss because I couldn't find my silver embossing powder. The second challenge from CAS-ual Fridays is to use two shades of grey and the third challenge is sketch 282 over at clean & simple.

I used a piece of grey DeNami card stock for the background and two shades of grey ribbon. The turquoise paper is SU and so are the stamps. The grey ink is Memento and the turquoise is SU. The bling is JoAnn Craft Essentials. To make it a Christmas card instead of a possible birthday card, I put a Penny Black sentiment inside that reads: May your holiday be wonderful and wonder-full.
