Yellow and Purple make grey

 I am back for a second inspiration post for our challenge at Country View Crafts! The theme chosen by Teresa is Opposites. I chose the easy option of colour opposites (on the colour wheel) so I could use any stamps, or rather, new stamps that I have barely touched since I got them in February and couldn't wait to use at last!

I cracked open my Paper Artsy goodies and off I stamped a one layer card, with barely any masking, pure stamping pleasure!



I simply stamped the top of the clock stamp from the HP1901 set in black, then the scribbled flower in Memento Grape Jelly, the chevron and dots with yellow dye ink all from the ETS25 set.

I felt the lower left corner needed some black so I added the ear of wheat from the ELB33 set, an old favourite of mine.

I hope I have inspired you to enter our challenge, remember one lucky crafter will win a £20 voucher to spend on Country View Crafts goodies...

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Addicted to stamps, Craft Stamper, Penny Black and more  challenges.

    Love it ! It is hard to believe that if you mix them they make a very unsavoury colour ! :o)

    I love your "simply" stamped card, dear Christine!! Back to the roots - and it´s absolutely amazing with the opposite colors you used.

    Great contrasting colours, and I love that scribbly flower. I can understand purple + yellow = grey, but the one I somehow have great trouble getting my head round is ultramarine blue + burnt sienna = grey!
