Happy Friday All!Bianca did pretty well with her extraction yesterday. She did swell a bit & complained of a bit of pain so I gave her some meds.....she was up a few hours later good as new! Thank goodness for that!!
My post for today is featuring colors I rarely use.....Orchid Opulence & Going Gray. Looking in my cabinet, I realized that I have a LOT of these 2 colors so I decided to play around with them to see what I could make. I kept my layout simple and didn't use very many embellishments so the embossed background would shine through. It's pretty simple but I do like it!
Look for more of these posts because there are some other colors that I don't use much either. I hope you've been inspired to pull out your *unloved* cardstock and make something beautiful! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!
TTFN,
Hugs,
Supplies:
Wings of Friendship ss; Orchid Opulence, Going Gray & Basic Black cs; Whisper White Craft & Basic Black ink; Eyelet Border Punch; Big Shot; Texture Plate; Scallop #2 Die; White Gel Pen; Rhinestone Brads

Very nice. I like the way those colors work together. I would have never thought to put them together.
ReplyDeleteLove this card and the colors. I know what you mean about 'unloved' colors. I tend to go for the same favorites all the time, can't remember when I have used Orchid Opulence and have only started using the gray shades recently.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and elegant! Its fun to pull out the "old", I will have to give it a try...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteJackie, such a beautiful card! Great color combo and I love that image!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of unloved cardstock - I'll have to pull it out soon!! Thanks for inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty that bird is stamped in grey on the black. And the grey and orchid combo is a terrific one.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Those are two colors that I don't use either.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Everything!! the colors, the layout...just everything. Makes me want to get those colors out and CASE you...LOL
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgoues! I love this color combination, a lot. Not sure I have ever used it on a creation...now I am inspired.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Jacquel
I need to do the same thing and pull out some of that "unloved" card stock. I find myself always gravitating to the same colors. Time to break out of that routine!
ReplyDeleteI love the embossing Jackie! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!! I love birds, so this really caught my eye. Pretty color combo too. :)
ReplyDeleteHow you put these colors together is just fabulous, love the stamped image
