It's all grey...

and a little simple!

Hello blogworld

Well it's three things that are grey - one is the weather (raining again!), two is the challenge over at the Graph 'It pens challenge blog and three is this card.

I've never made a 'greys' only challenge before and was intrigued.  This is what I came up with - and it's where the simple bit comes in!

Front shot:

Digi stamp:

coloured with my ProMarkers
(warm greys, cool greys, ice greys and blue greys)

Sentiment - from a very old stamp set

Dies:

Spellbinders - border die

Anything else?

Twine and some pearl hearts

Ha and I wonder how many of you thought I was going to say it 'twas me that was simple!!!

See you soon,

Sarah

Hi Blogworld

Since discovering the Some Odd Girl digi stamps and that they have a monthly challenge, I've been trying to take part.  I've not always managed it and that's normally because of time - but this month I almost didn't manage it because I had no clue what the October challenge theme was!!

I'm obviously getting very old and very little country mouse-y as I'd never heard of the 'ombre' trend!  Some very kind ladies over at Some Odd World had to explain it to me and I'm still not sure that I've actually got the theme.

But hey-ho, this is actually one card that I (mostly) enjoyed making.  I enjoyed the colouring part of it, the finished card doesn't look exactly as I had imagined - but that's because I had a quick change of paper.

So here's what I ended up with:

Hi blogworld,

Me again - slipping a bit again with the posting!!

Still my excuse is that I've been helping hubby with the extension, but I have managed a bit more card making and got to fit some more in this week as well - got a little boys card to make by Thurs -eek!!!

Anyways, short and sweet today.  SHMbO needs picking up from the bus very soon - can't hang around!

So the old card then:
