This card features my new go-to neutral base color: gray! I love the versatility of this card. In my opinion, gray is a very underused card that doesn't have to be boring, blah, dark. If you pair it with a brighter tone or accent and embellish it right, it can be a great color to keep on hand and in the back of your mind.
This card literally came to me in my sleep. And by sleep, I mean while I was lazily dozing in my recliner yesterday morning. I had to be up at 2 a.m. for work so don't judge :). I have really been on myself for getting around to buying a journal so that I may write ideas and sketches down as they come to me because my memory is horrible. I was very proud of myself for still remembering this one after I woke up!

I think the striped patterned went well with the gray background and without being too busy! This card has everything that I MUST have in a card: texture, dimension, and great color pairings!
For a little something on the inside of the card, I sponged around one of the punched hearts with white pigment ink so it matches the outside without taking away from a written message. Always look for new ways to use scraps and punched pieces! Don't mind my ill-manicured finger.

This card made me wonder...what do you do with your scraps or any left-over punched pieces? Share your ideas! And until next time...
