With sympathy

Immediately I saw the "grey is the new black" post on Moxie Fab I knew I wanted to give this challenge a try. I love the grey/chartreuse and grey/yellow combinations out there at the moment. I went with the grey/chartreuse as green is my all time favourite colour!



I also wanted this card to fit the Passion for Papertrey challenge to use background stamps. So I reached for my trusty polka dots II set and using smokey shadow ink covered the lower third of the card in one of the tiny dots in the set.

Inks - PTI smokey shadow, Versamark, Versafine onyx black

    I agree - grey goes soooooooo well with Simply Chartreuse (mind you, I think we'd make anything go with green, right?!) The vellum flower is beautiful too!
    Thanks so much for joining us on A Passion for Papertrey!

    Gray and chartreuse look fabulous together. The embossed leaves jump off the page and give this card so much life.
