Basic Grey Challenge

 We have a really easy theme for this fortnight - your favourite - it can be stamp, papers, embellishment ... anything really that is your favourite.  Remember you must use a Basic Grey product.


OK so my favourites are ... the papers, the image, Crafty Sentimetns designs, gingham, those die cut flowers - pretty much everything on this card LOL!!!
I coloured this Benson Bear image in using my pens and then used my deckled nesties to cut him and the mat out.  I added ribbon, lace, diecut flowers, pearls, a wee diecut banner and a bow. The sentiment was created from 2 Clearly Besotted stamp set and put onto a banner die cut.  I am really loving my diecuts at the moment - amazing what a bit of decent storage does for you!!

Supplies: 
Sentiment:Clearly Besotted stamps
Colouring medium: promarkers 
fur: cocao, caramel, sandstone
Balloons: demin blue, duck egg, cool aqua, amythest, orchid, lavendar
dusky rose, coral, sunkissed pink

Tools: Memory box pennant banner, Dienamics Layered rose, dienamics shaped tag
