Celebrate Basic Gray!

I’m lovin’ the new Basic Gray color.  Ok, it’s not that new, but I had been putting off getting it for a while until I saw someone use it instead of Basic Black and I really liked what I saw!  The layout of this card was inspired by Mary.  I really liked the clean crisp monochromatic look…

Plum Manhattan Flower

Pictures just do not do this card justice.  The Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die creates the most beautiful impressions I’ve ever seen!  Just really “Ooo Ahh” stunning!  This card was so easy to create.  I just placed my Perfect Plum cardstock in the Manhattan Flower Textured Die folder and ran it through my Big Shot….
