Grey and White!

Hey girls! Yes it is that time again, Sunday and another card for Jay Gee's Nook.

I gained inspiration for this card from an ipad cover that I had seen here on the net, loved it so much that I could see the card that I wanted to create.

I took grey card stock, trimmed it to size and stamping one of the stamps from the Delicate Leaf Clusters stamp set with Versamark Ink, making sure to cover the entire grey card stock, embossing with white embossing powder as I went. I corner rounded the corners of the card stock and set aside to work on the sentiment. Trimming some vellum, and taking the sentiment from the With Sympathy stamp set I stamped onto the vellum with Versamark Ink and embossing it with more white embossing powder. I adhered the vellum to the grey card stock to make it feel as though it was floating. I took white card stock, trimmed it to form a card and adhered the grey card stock to the front using foam dimensionals. Lastly, corner rounding the corners to match.

I know that last week I shared a sympathy card with you all, but I do know that these are not the easiest to create, so wanted to share another for you to gain inspiration, in which I hope I have done so.

I hope that you will all follow me now to view what Judith and Ange have been up to, don't forget to have a peek into the store whilst you are there, I know that there are some more goodies that have arrived.

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday, I will be back with another creation tomorrow for you to view.

Hugs
