Seize the Birthday #273 Ashwini - Neutral Colors


This month's first challenge is to use Neutral Colors.  Ashwini is our wonderful host for this
 challenge at STB.  Come visit and see all of the inspiration from our team and join our challenge.

I used Gina K's inks, Sandy Beach, Kraft & Dark Chocolate with her Stamp sets to create this neutral card:  Never Lose Hope and Butterfly Trio.  The sentiment is from PTI, Birthday Bash. 
And Gina's ML 1.



Our guest for November and January is the talented Loll Thompson, Stamping with Loll.
Welcome Loll.


Thanks for stopping by.

Lin, I love your design! I love the masked off rectangle with the sponged on neutrals and then those wonderful butterflies. This is a great card and I think it would totally work for sympathy cards too...I might have to give that a try!!
