Breathe Deep

Simple can really be beautiful when you have the right products. The card I’m sharing with you today features a beautiful image, an inspiring sentiment and a few shades of gray. Here’s the simple (but effective) card I made:

The mountain cabins in the Peaceful Place Suite of products in Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2021 Mini Catalog features a beautiful variety of grays. This set is featured later in the catalog (on page 60), but I thought it would be perfect in gray to look like a charcoal sketch. I was right, right?!

Here’s a look at the GORGEOUS Reflected in Nature stamp set:

Do you love the mix of Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Basic Black? I sure do and have used it a lot. If you like this mix of colors, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:

  1. Love the simplicity as well as all the inspiration for these neutrals!

    Love your card. This is one of my favorite stamp sets. Your choice of colors
    are perfect for this card.

  3. Yes, it is beautiful and perfect in the grays!

  4. The gray you used on this card are FANTASTIC. You might have showed me I DO NEED this set.
    PS…..Spotted you at Back-Stage (and had a “Hi Brian King” made up to show on my Zoom camera…….but thought I had better not. But I did show it to Peggy Noe in one of the break-out sessions).

  5. LOVE the first card, Brian. It is soooo contemplative!!!!

  6. Thanks for the ideas on different options for this paper . I was truly stumped after I would use the cabin layout . Plus I bet adding some Bermuda Bay or Granny Apple Green or Cherry Cobbler would help.

  7. When I first saw this stamp set, I was amazed at the quality of the reflection. It’s amazing, and you’ve done a fantastic job making it even more beautiful.
