Cream and navy

Greetings! I'm currently in Las Vegas in business meetings for the three days! Hopefully I'll be able to get some gambling time in...my elbow needs a work out! The following card was created based upon a picture that I just saw on Pinterest - it was a color combo that featured grey and navy. I added some cream to it and this is what I came up with.

The grosgrain ribbon doesn't perfectly match the cardstock which really bums me out! I even tried to color some ribbon with Copic's to see if I could match the cardstock, but stuck out. Oh well, in real life it looks pretty decent.

Stamps are from Papertrey Ink (can you tell that I got a shipment recently? LOL). The wheat like plant is stamped in Colorbox ink of some color or another. It says dusty plum, but I think it looks more wheat. Sentiment is stamped in jet black Archival ink.

Navy and grey cardstock is from Bazzill and the vintage cream is from PTI. I would really like to hear what you think about this one! Thanks for stopping in!

Color combo inspiration

Hi everyone! A while back, Nicole Heady had a feature on her blog about inspiration and where to look for it. I thought that her insight was fresh, thoughful and right on target. I periodically watch the shows on HGTV (love House Hunters) and found myself on their web site recently. I ran across this picture and thought that the colors were a really interesting mix. Well I just had to try my hand at seeing if I could duplicate it on a card.

Well, this is what I came up with.

I really liked the putty or gray color of that one wall and used a gray card stock as my base. I dusted off my linen back ground stamp and inked it up with a warm wheat color and layered it with black. The lime green accents came into play with the circle nestabilites. I've had this piece of green polka dot paper in my scrap pile for about two years and finally found somewhere to use it! I tied a black satin ribbon with my new Bow-easy (this tool is a must have) and called it good.

So, what do you think?
