Color Hues: Red and Grey


Happy 2021! Let's jump into the new year with a new Color Hues challenge - this one, RED and GREY,  picked by me! Surprisingly, I ended up with more grey than red in my card: 


Once again, as I struggle to move away from making Christmas cards, patterned paper comes to the rescue. ;) With grey as one of my colours, I knew I was going to have a cat, and watercoloured a Tim Holtz crazy cat, adding a shimmery red balloon to his tail. The paper I picked gave my cat something to stand on, and added a little extra interest to the large background panel. A snarky sentiment was all it needed! :D 


A beautiful array of red and grey cards awaits you on the Color Hues blog! I hope you'll make this part of your new year's crafting. 

Supplies: Neenah white Cardstock, Canson watercolour paper, Teresa Collins Far & Away patterned paper, Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Crazy Cats & Crazy Things & Hero Arts Irreverent Birthday stamps, Simon Says Stamp intense black ink, Zig watercolour markers, Sizzix/Tim Holtz Crazy Cat dies, Winsor & Newton iridescent medium, Creative Memories corner-rounding punch, foam tape 

Pin It Now!

As much as you like red, you did go very subtle with the color. Perfect kitty card. (Love the striped paper!)

You made a card with a cat on it? How odd.... ;D

What a fun card Lindsey, I must admit I'm still in Christmas card mode too. I am determined not to be short this year! :)

Love this card - great shine on the balloon and the graph-style paper goes perfectly with the sentiment.

What a fun card with the shiny balloon and red and gray strip of pattern paper. The sentiment cracked me up!
