CASology: Gray

After the combo red, black, and white, gray might be one of my favorite colors. Strangely enough I don’t often pull that color for cards very often. But this week’s CASology Challenge encouraged me to change that. 

My favorite gray cardstocks are all made by Simon Says. There are three gradations of it, and this time I pulled the darkest of the three: Slate. The patterned paper came from the Pinkfresh Studio “Live More” collection, and both were part of the Simon Says Card Kit from August. (I have three boxes of papers and embellishments from old Simon Says kits, and need to pull them out more often.) The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s “Wet Paint II” die collections. I die cut three of them and layered them for some dimension. Couldn’t be a simpler card.

It’s a frigid day here in Western New York, in the teens with an even colder wind chill. A friend treated me to lunch at the Monroe Golf Club. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas, and the food was superb. Home now, snuggled in with a bit of crafting time.
