Welcome to week twenty-nine of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Gray Granite, a light gray with a slightly brownish hue from the Neutrals family.
I love neutrals and use them all the time, however I usually use them as a background to other colours or for when I need earth tones. To ensure I made Gray Granite the star of my card tonight I only used three colours: Gray Granite, Basic White and a tiny touch of gold.
I just can’t get enough of the Reindeer Fun bundle! I also stamped and coloured this little deer to use on another card at a later date.
I’ve stamped both of the deer image outlines in Gray Granite and coloured them in with Gray Granite light and dark Stampin’ Blends.
In my latest order I finally added the Spotlight on Nature dies to my die collection. I couldn’t resist threading the new online gold twisted thread through the decorative border holes of the die cut circle and tying the thread into a decorative bow.
Here’s a close up of the threaded die cut circle. I’ve used a tapestry needle to thread the die cut.
The trees stamped behind the deer are also stamped in Gray Granite, stamped both at full strength and stamped off once.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan. I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

I hope you can join us then!
Oh this is so beautiful, Cathy, those deer are coloured perfectly. I love how you threaded the gold around the Spotlight on Nature dies and in a bow at the top!!
This is a beautiful card! So soothing. Who knew Gray Granite could be so beautiful?!
Lovely sweet and subtle card Cathy. Threading the gold thread through outside of the circle die is a beautiful idea.
