Pink and Gray

Kathy, I love that you up-cycled. You always do that so well. Kudos to you my friend.

I have this done, but got called out on a family emergency this morning so hopefully I can post it before I leave for Florida Monday morning.

I love the colors pink and gray together. I am hoping to unpack some of my room this weekend. Maybe I'll find some pink and gray.

Kathy, what a great card! I do love how you reuse all the great stuff that goes your way.

Barry, I can't wait to see your take on it.

I fell in love with this paper at a LSS a few months ago. I only bought one sheet along with the shimmery gray and some pinks. Of course I didn't use them because they were on "the good paper" shelf in my mind. :lol:

Thanks to you Barry, I have now used it and I have enough left for two or three more cards. Now that it has been cut, it's no longer "good" paper and I will use it with wild abandon...cause 's how I roll.

This card is for my high school friend who is turning 65 on December 8th. We have a long history of doing crazy things for each other's birthday. So, I turned this elegant looking card into a way of razzing her about her age. The kicker is that I will turn 65 in January but I will still be younger than her.

Barry, thanks for a challenge that turned out to be loads of fun for me.

Ellie, your special paper is so pretty...no wonder you kept for a special person.....very nice

OH Ellie! THat is stunning, just so beautiful! I love it so elegant. I know I would have had a heck of a time using that paper. I have stacks of paper that I just cannot cut. I need therapy

Thanks for playing along.

You know what they say, Barry. (Cue the music) The first cut is the deepest. If you want to use some of that paper I will be glad to talk you through it. :lol:

Beautiful card Ellie. Great use of that special paper. It's certainly easier to cut into when it's for someone special.

I think the butterfly needs some bling, it's looking a flat...time for a shopping trip!

Ellie, you are hilarious! That is beautiful paper and I am oh so glad that you found a wonderful way to use it! Your friend is going to love it.

Trudi, you created a beautiful card, as well. Have fun on your shopping trip!

Mine is pretty simple, but, it is what it is. At least I found some time to make one. It isn't at all what I had intended.

The card is a dark gray, definitely gray, whether, or not, that is what it looks like in the picture. The embossing powder is a pink sparkle, so it is pink with gray (okay, silver) sparkle.

The candle looks awful, but it is just a tester. For those of you that are coffee addicts, it is coffee scented. I made layered ones for presents, yesterday, but needed to test the wick, so you get to see it.
