Less is More - Yellow and Grey

It has been a busy week, but beautiful spring weather, so I have been able to enjoy all my favorite outdoor activities!

We have a new challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Yellow and Grey. This is just a beautiful combination!  I really do like to see grey with so many different colors.  It really gives the project a sense of elegance!

Here's my take on the challenge...



I started by simply stamping my flowers and leaves on cardstock.  I then colored them with my copic markers in various shades of grey, no shading just simply coloring.  I then cut down my panel and framed it with the soft yellow cardstock.  I have been liking the inlaid die technique lately and choose to use it for this project as well.







Here's a close up of the card.  You can see that this is a one-layer card with inlaid die!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
