Basic Grey Challenge

Its time for another Basic Grey challenge and the theme this time is Basic Grey Mix and Match - so simply mix and match the different ranges and products.


I used Basic Grey What's Up, Porcelain and Infuse matted onto kraft cardstock.  The papers are distressed and stitched, before I added the lace and seam binding.  I added the gorgeous Hobbycutz bird cage and a bow, before adding a arrangement of flowers.  I have made this for my mum - hopefully she will like it as she doesn't really like my image cards much, or lots of fuss!!

As always, our wonderful sponsor, Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore
