Hi there ~ A quick post today to share a few cards before these challenges close...First is a card I created for CASology for the cue card 'Gray'
I inked the die cut trees with several shades of gray to create a gradation of color, and added a sentiment and a few gems...easy peasy!
******************************************
This week's Muse is Tracey McNeely, and she created this beauty to inspire us:
And, my take on her card:
The sentiment was stamped and embossed with clear EP and the berries were made with Nuvo Drops.
I focused on Tracey's:
- Christmas theme
- Color palette
That's it for me today...if I am unable to post over the next several days, I would like to take a moment to wish everyone Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas!

Two cool beauties, Barb ... those grey trees are so stylish ... and I love the minimalist holly perfectly adorning that fabulous sentiment! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both very strong designs! Love the simplicity and the use of simple shapes and lots of clear space! Thanks for joining us at Muse this week, Barb!
ReplyDeleteYour card immediately jumped out at me, Barb - I was thrilled to choose it as our winner. :) Looking forward to having you as a guest designer! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards, Barb. I got that "believe" set last year and still haven't used it.
ReplyDeleteBarb... great cards... so love your interpretation of Tracey's Muse card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Barb! I amazed at the many variations of gray in your trees, and that beautiful "believe" sentiment is well balanced by the holly and berries. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWith the blur that was Christmas - and travels to see my mom, then coming home, then going back, coming home again and now preparing (as in frantically trying to get ahead with DT cards!) to go yet again (leaving Friday - even though I retired from teaching, I'm still eligible to mark diploma exams this January...yayyy), I've fallen woefully behind in commenting. Correcting that right now! Your grey forest is gradient gorgeous; your Believe card, striking! LOVE that single holly leaf and berries!
