Nouveau Chic -- a study in Gray, Black and White

Good morning, everyone! I've got a card to share with you today that I made using the new Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper. Now I admit, when I first saw these papers, I didn't quite know what to think. With the colors of Basic Black, Basic Gray, Sage Shadow and Apricot Appeal and Big, Bold designs, they are a far cry from the vibrant colors and floral themes that I so often gravitate toward. But that said, I LOVE these new papers. This morning's card is just one sample of what I will be creating with this new paper collection! I hope you'll come back for more soon!

In addition to the DSP, I used the Kind & Caring Thoughts Stamp Set, 5/8" Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon, a Jumbo Grommet in Shiny Black and Black Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool. For an added extra touch, I did some paper piercing just around three sides of the stamped image layers and of course, stamped a bit on the inside of the card as well.

I hope you enjoyed this sample of the new Nouveau Chic DSP! Stop back soon for more Inspiration in Action!

Blessings, Gretchen

I just love this card... "dramatic" is a good word for it. This DSP is on my wish list, but I think I have to move it closer to the top now. :)
