Welcome to week nine of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring a dark gray neutral called Basic Gray. Although this is a great colour for landscape scenes and masculine cards, I decided to show how it can also work well for a feminine card.
This is the colour combination I’ve used for my card.
I can’t stop using this stunning Layers of Beauty bundle. For masks 1, 2 and 3 I’ve used Pretty in Pink. The colour gets darker every time I add another mask layer.
The leaves in the main stamped image are masked in Basic Gray.
After stamping and colouring the large floral image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set I cut it apart and arranged it on the card behind the white heat embossed “Happy Birthday” sentiment.
I’ve added some extra die cut Smoky Slate leaves using dies from the Layers of Beauty dies, finishing the card with Basic Gray Pearls.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Ros Davidson – I can’t wait to see what Ros has made this week!

I hope you can join us then!
The pretty in pink and grey colour combination you have created is gorgeous. You’ve also chosen the perfect floral image to highlight the colour combo.
Wow this is gorgeous
This is a stunning card, Cathy. The softer pinks with the gray tones is so beautiful and the placement of the white embossed sentiment is perfect. Love it!
This is such a beautiful card Cathy and because of your gorgeous cards recently my last order had this bundle in it. I couldn’t resist any longer. I love how you have popped it all up on the card base to give it that extra bit of dimension.
Snap on the colour combo Cathy. Pretty In Pink really does go beautifully with grays and your card definitely shows Basic Gray is just beautiful for feminine cards.
Beautiful, feminine card Cathy. Great idea to deconstruct the floral image to suit the central greeting.
Such a beautiful colour combo, and perfect for giving your card a dreamy, olde-worldy, look, Cath. I don’t think we’ll ever tire of this gorgeous bundle, do you?! Way to go, showcasing Basic Gray.
Wow!! Absolutely beautiful, Cathy! I love your colour combination and I was almost going to use Pretty in Pink with Basic Gray.
OMG That’s stunning!! Absolutely LOVE it!!
