The new Basic Gray...don't you just love it?! A gorgeous rich charcoal color! But...how often do you actually use it?! This week for the ways to use it challenge...lets find ways to use Basic Gray or another other great charcoal gray color. If you don't own this color...use Bazzill cardstock or another brand. You can also find some patterned paper with a dark gray in it and use that. Now just to clarify...the challenge is not to use "Basic Grey" from the Basic Grey company...well...you can use it as long as there is some charcoal color worked into your design. Make a card, make an altered item, make a layout...whatever you wish! Just have some fun!
Quick flash back...the very first Ways to Use it Challenge was Going Gray! I still think I need to find some ways to use that!
Please remember to put WT132 in your keywords section and post a link back here. We all can't wait to see your ideas! If you are new, please feel free to jump right in. All are welcome as are people with all levels of experience. The challenges are to get you stamping and have some fun! If you wish to share a sample you have already made, please limit it to one and make sure you create something new as well.
Boo! I haven't ordered it yet (I'm slow, I know!) I'll have to be an observer today! Great idea, though...I'm looking forward to seeing all of your inspiring ideas!

Hmmm... I don't have any Basic Gray ink or cardstock, but I did just buy a Palette charcoal inkpad. Time to do some experimenting. Great challenge Julia!
Is it ok if I use Going Gray? Maybe if I distress it and dirty it up a bit with black ink it will look like Basic Gray.
Cuz I dont have a charcol Gray.:(

Sure...use going gray if you have to...just dirty it up! LOL I hate anyone having to sit it out if they want to play!
Since it sounds like a lot of folks don't have this color I'm posting a card I previously posted using Basic Gray... then off to work on a new sample! Also, don't deprive yourselves any longer- you really need basic gray- it is gogeous with almost anything!

Here's a card I posted a couple weeks ago, first using Basic Gray. I got a couple sheets from my Demo to see how I would like it and it will definitely be on my next order! Have a Christmas card in progress using Basic Gray but won't be able to finish that and post it until later today. But for now here's my first Basic Gray card. TFL
I don't have any Basic Gray, but I recently recieved a card from a friend that is a great example of the Charbon Designer Paper which is Basic Gray.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Hmmmm....I don't have Basic Gray yet, but I think i might have some charcoal colors Bazzill somewhere! What a fun challenge - can't wait to get home tonight and try it!
