We could use the colors, the texture, shapes, anything we wanted, so I went with neutrals. I love a good neutrals challenge! I started with this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:
The papers in the Basic Grey capella paper pack are mostly neutral, and since this is an inspiration challenge, I allowed myself to sneak in that flesh-toned piece (no, it is NOT (gah) PINK!). I embossed the grey-ish panel with my Houndstooth embossing folder to add a little texture to the card.
Oh, and I did not copy Lauren just because I used the Tim Holtz deer die. Well, technically, she enabled me to need it, so I guess every time I use it I copy her. Hmmm. (Shhhh, she doesn't know I want to be like her when I grow up.)
I'm going back in for some more stamping! Thanks for stopping by!
Hmmm ... I swear I see a tiny dash of pink in that design :) ... love the fabulous patterned reindeer (I think we all want to be at least a little of Lauren when we grow-up ... but I'm guessing the secret of that is to never grow-up) ... so glad you joined us at jingle belles.
