I've never used grey on a card before, so this is a first for me! I had to start gently, so there's only a bit which I used to mat the main panel. I rarely use dark colours as a base card, so this whole card was way out of my comfort zone!
As well as grey, I used the other 2 colours in the colour challenge which are Apricot Appeal and Sage Shadows. I used black as my neutral.
The design is partly inspired by a coaster I saw at my SIL's at the weekend, and I knew this stamp from Good Neighbours would be perfect for it. Each leaf is embossed in silver and cut out. The sentiment is also embossed in silver.
Thanks for taking a closer look!

Out of your comfort zone--seriously??? You really rocked this!! I love how you used the tree from Good Neighbours to make this stylized branch. Way to go, Britzi!!
