I have really been enjoying this Nature Walk set. It's from the Occassions Mini catalog. I'd been inking the stamps with markers and had even done some watercoloring. Today I just stamped everything in Basic Gray.
The Color Challenge at SCS today was to use River Rock, Basic Gray and Whisper White. Dessert was to use a background stamp.
I've gotta tell you, this had me stumped for a while. I thought of several possibilities, none of which really appealed to me. Then, when I got to my stamp room this afternoon, this kind of just came together. I'd seen, and admired quite a few cards done in this collage style and tried it on the River Rock with the Basic Gray ink. Now, I'm not a fan of Basic Gray. It's way down there with Soft Suede on my like list. But, just like Soft Suede, when I use it in a color challenge, I like it!
These challenges are really wonderful for making me do something I would never have done on my own. I get really excited when something comes together and I like it!
This card would be suitable for a man or a woman I think. And, I believe this will go through the regular mail. The design area is popped up. I hope that won't cause a problem.
Oh, and I used the Sanded background stamp inked with River Rock on the large River Rock piece. It gives a very subtle texture. I think if you click on the picture it will enlarge so you can see the details better.
Card Recipe
Stamps: Nature Walk, Perfect Punches, Sanded
Ink: Basic Gray, River Rock
Paper: Whisper White, River Rock, Basic Gray
Accessories: Scallop Oval Punch, Basic Gray Satin Ribbon
Enjoy,
Bonnie

So pretty, Bonnie! I just got this set too and I think I will love it. The images seem so timeless to me.
Oh, I love this card and I really like the Basic Gray. I almost never use gray but did recently and decided I liked it. This is a great mix of colors and you made a beautiful card.
Oh, how very elegant, Bonnie! I really like what you did with these challenging colors. Your collage design turned out so well!
