Everything But the Kitchen Sink & a Bday Bash

Hello everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days!! I have been busy working on projects and have neglected my blog!!

I have a card to share with you today.  I made this several days ago for the Everything But the Kitchen Sink color challenge & Wee Memories Birthday Bash challenge but have had a terrible time photographing it! 



I love this color combo!  Gray is so hot right now and paired up with Hawaiian Shores it is such a striking combination!


Here's a closeup of the white and silver pearls!  I love adding them to these medallions!  The polka dotted paper is a dark gray even though it almost appears black in the photo.  I am loving, loving these lacy circles from Nestabilities!  So much fun!  This one was layered onto a white circle to change up the look a little and make it more doily like to match the medallion.  I used my copics to color in a few select sections of the medallion.


The color scheme we were to use from the Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge was:


And the Wee Memories Birthday Bash Challenge:


Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I hope you enjoyed today's card!  Have a beautiful day!

This card is gorgeous! I love your focal part (especially the additions of the pearl) and the colors!

Eva said...

Oh yes...that grey does look very rich and warm!! So not what you normally think of when thinking of grey. Your card is gorgeous...how did you get the "mat" around your mat stack?? I also like that you used pearls and silver together :)

Wow, this is STUNNING! I absolutely love it!! I've always thought the dotted paper looked kinda cutesy, but here you've made it look so elegant. Love the pearl accents too! Really awesome job!!
