Gray is the New Black challenge in the Moxie fab World!
I wondered about this new color "rule" when I first heard it... then I checked out the Moxie Fab challenge and saw all of the inspiration photos that Cath has gathered. Wow! From pastels to brights...the color grey makes a fabulous partner!
I love my brights, but I decided to go soft and shimmery today:
What do you think?... I love this butterfly image and what about the beautiful font used in the sentiment?! I love how the shimmer gray card stock really shows the embossing on the little card tote.
Here's a little close up:
I needed a really special gift and I hope she likes this little note card set!
Stamps: Layers of Color Butterfly Collector and Sent with love set
Paper: Core'dinations Pearls in shimmer pearl (love this!)
Ink: Tsukineko
Other: Spellbinders nestibilities and Grand Caliber , ribbon,button,and Sizzix embossing folder.
Hope your day is shimmering! ;D

This is SO pretty Diana!! I LOVED this challenge too!! Grey is one of my oldest faves to work with so this was totally up my alley! I was giddy while reading the article in the mag!! So I have to tell you this cause it's really funny...being a total Family Guy fan, the name of your blog made me think of this episode where Peter sings this song "the bird is the word" you have to look it up on youtube...you will pee laughing!! So thanks for the laugh!!
