This is my card for this week's sketch challenge and today's Alphabet Challenge - Q is for Quartz Gray. I went with a pink and gray color scheme and stamped my Smoky Slate panel with a couple sizes of circles and the ring (these are all "waste" stamps in the Daydream Medallions stamp set). I think between the Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, and overlapping grays, I must quartz gray in there somewhere! I heat embossed the rings with silver glitter embossing powder. I selected this soft striped paper for the top using a bit of silver ribbon where the two papers meet. I stamped the cute sentiment on a Pink Pirouette piece, matted with Basic Gray, and colored the cake slice with SU markers and white gel pen. That panel is popped up with foam tape. I finished the card by adding some silver sequins to the gray panel for one more circle element.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

I am partial to pink and gray because those were the colors of my professional womens' music fraternity in college....Delta Omicron. Yes, a fraternity, not a sorority. This is so pretty.

Love this! I like that you found a way to use every bit of that stamp set! I'm going to have to take a look at mine and see if I still have the extras? Thanks for sharing!
