Basic Grey Blog Hop

How about some fun today with Basic Grey?!

(if you're looking for my Flourishes Pre-Release Challenge Card - please scroll down or CLICK HERE)

The CardMaker Blog Team was able to play with some fabulous goodies from Basic Grey's True Love Collection this month, and boy was it fun!  I love Basic Grey papers, but this is the first time I've played with the extra goodies from the whole collection.  There was so much to choose from, and I went out of my typical style and comfort zone which was really fun! I have a couple of creations to show you...

How about some clear cardstock Valentine fun?  I paired some clear cardstock with some of the papers from the 6 x 6 True Love pack and some of the goodies from the stickers, buttons and chipboard to create this very fun collage style Valentine.  

I cut out a scalloped heart and banner from the dp layering it under the clear cardstock, and the did different layers of chipboard and stickers.  It's busy - but it's fun too.  I love the stickers put together for the sentiment "With You my heart skips a beat, my sweet".  

Now I went a little more vintage with this next card.  I was so taken by the epoxy filled mini bottle caps that I knew I had to do something with them, so I created a little bottle cap square.  I love the more blue tones of these papers in the collection.  I used another chipboard arrow from the collection, and then added some pretty taupe lace, velvet and another little chipboard heart, and it has a little more of that shabby-chic feel.  

Here you can see the details, the photo corners and the lace more closely.  

There is so much too this great collection that I know I'll be having lots more fun with it!  I hope you enjoyed this peek at it today.  

Now you can head on over to Joy Taylor's little creative spot for more Basic Grey Inspiration!
