This is my submission for today's Color Challenge - to use Pacific Point (Not Quite Navy), Basic Gray and Certainly Celery for our card. I am not a big fan of Pacific Point, but I decided to try and get it in there. I may have to go back and do one with Not Quite Navy which I do love.
This is also for Beate's Inspiration Challenge which this week was to be inspired by the colors or patterns of the child's mobile shown here: Blogs at Splitcoaststampers
The colors in the inspiration photo were a great match to today's challenge colors. I also incorporated a bird, although not a whimsical bird like the mobile.
I took the easy way out and let the Basic Grey Periphery DP take center stage. I'm afraid there's no stamping except the sentiment on the inside. I sponged the DP with Celery to deepen the color and added some antique silver brads and some gray satin ribbon for interest.
Thanks, Christine, for stepping in with a great color combo and Beate, for another fun Inspiration Challenge!

I love Periphery paper...I went for the no stamp look today too. I love the bird, and the gray ribbon is perfect, Carla!

Fabulous card. I love the way that you showcased this beautiful DP on your card. I find a lot of the Basic Grey DP can stand on it's own and be stunning, just like your card today.
