The theme for this month's SWAP on UKPC is:-
Greys with an Accent Colour of Your Choice.
The 2 cards done so far have turquoise and pink so I went with orange.
I had pondered this for a while and had to force myself (yet again) to sit at my desk and actually DO something.
SAD light on and it seems to have done the trick too.
I used various grey pieces of card for the oak leaves and Spiced Marmalade and Iced Spruce inks.
Thought the corners cut out added a nice feature plus my usual liquid pearls and stickles.
Here's my finished card - phew done it!
About Me
- BJ
- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Thanks for visiting. I am so happy to have time to be involved again. I truly love your shades of grey..I always think swaps help the motivation. I miss my ATC swaps. Have a great week.
Hi BJ, gorgeous card, I so love the leaves they are a lovely shape and variety of colours. Have good crafty week and great woyww, Angela x 17
I don't think I would have thought to pair orange with grays, but it works so well with the fall theme! Beautifully done!

That's a gorgeous card BJ and I love the colour combo. I also love the swirly die cut you used - it's so pretty and looks great against the leaves. Glad you are feeling a bit better, have a great week,

Looks great BJ, I never thought of orange when I was looking for a bright colour.

Nice BJ, lovely striking offset on the grey if you ask me. Glad the SAD light helps a bit...I think you're right about forcing yourself too, sometimes I can waste a couple of hoursdoing not very much rather than sit at the desk and do something - anything creative!
BJ, That's a fab card and I love the orange with the grey.
Happy WOYWW
