I couldn't pass up the chance to play along at Less is More this week with the Shades of Grey colour challenge and combine it with CAS(e) this Sketch which closes in the next few hours!!
I had every intention to do some stamping and shading with my grey Promarkers just because I love using them but my ideas got hijacked by the Air Vent die from Simon Says Stamp and the sketch at CAS(e) this week!!
I've used the die-cut as a guide to adhere the waste pieces back down on the card, alternating two different greys... I love the raised up pattern it creates :0) To make them fit snuggly within the circle, I positioned the vent die across it before running them both back through the bigshot.... then held my breath whilst I tried placing it over the grey stripes..Yay!! it worked :0)
The splattering, which is intentional on this occasion.. Lol, is Pumice Stone DI and water flicked from a brush.... so thats four shades of grey actually!!!
Thanks for visiting :0)
