oak-for-you.jpg  Good day!   Happy Tuesday.  Today’s Color Combination challenge is to use Basic Black, Basic Gray and Purely Pomegranate.   What a luscious combination!   Now is when I’m really missing that black velvet ribbon I can’t find! LOL

I went with a fairly quick card this morning as there are many things to do, places to go, people to see :).   Once again, I let my punches do most of the work.  I did stamp and cut the flower out twice.. once for the outside stamped in black on purely pomegranate, then the center is stamped on Regal Rose in Purely Pomegranate.  Each layer is popped.

I’m working on some projects today…hopefully, I’ll be able to share later :).   With my DH home (layoff), I’m going to utilize his energy and get some things done (honey do list).   Hope you all are having a fabulous week!

Here’s my deets:

Stamps:  One of A Kind by Stampin’ Up!

Colors: Basic Black, GP White, Purely Pomegranate, Basic Gray, Berry Bliss DP

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Purely Pomegranate

Accessories: Build a Brad, brads, oval scallop punches, oval punch, designer label punch, circle punch, ribbon, dimensionals, slit punch

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!

Morning Holly (well at least it is morning here on the West Coast). I think I’m going to have to keep a sketch book of all your layouts as they are always so wonderful and this one is no exception. If I followed through 100% I’d have to change my SCS gallery’s name to “Toy Caser” - LOL!!

So sorry to hear about your hubby’s layoff. Do hope there is something he can flip into quickly — but not until the “honey do” list is complete, of course :) All joking aside, I trust this will be a temporary state - prayers are with you. Cyber (((hugs))).
