CFC129

CASual Fridays Challenge 129 is Shades of Gray--create a clean and simple project
using at least TWO SHADES OF GRAY.


I managed to use three shades of gray on my card.


I stamped Hero Arts' Tweed Background in Wet Cement (first shade of gray)
on Silver Fox card stock (second shade) and die cut the sentiment. The piece was placed
on Fog card stock (third shade) and a few enamel dots were added for contrast.
Can you tell that I was channeling Laura Bassen while I made this?

And there it is. Easy peasy, right?
So remember with the new format, you have lots of time to play along
with the monthly challenges. And enter as many times as you like!
Just keep it CAS and you're good to go.

Thanks for stopping by at my first post as a Girl Friday!
