This has to be my all time favorite home decor color combo: taupe and any kind of gray/blue. I've got it all over my house. I'm actually forbidden from using taupe on any projects at work because I tend to abuse it :) (If it was up to me, all our client's homes would have a little taupe!) But here in the cardmaking world, I'm free to 'have at it'. So here's what I made:
Cardstock: Bazzill; patterned papers: Basic Grey (Basics) & Stampin' Up; tape: Tim Holtz; glitter: Ranger Stickles (Tiara); string, punch, label: Martha Stewart; stamp: Stampin' Up; marker: Copic
I punched those flowers with a Martha Stewart punch (the mini hydrangeas). I colored some of the little circles with a light blue Copic marker & highlighted others with small dots of glitter (although it's kind of hard to see.) The frame, which mimics the shape of the pillow, is Tim Holtz tissue tape.
Thanks for having a look!
