Shades of grey

Now on to my next card I was having a nose round earlier in the week and came across Nikky Halls blog and has done a lovely card using a sketch she had made for the polka doodles challenge the only thing was she said she forgot the theme to her challenge was shades of grey and she had made hers with all different colours lol I think most of us have done that at some time so anyway off I trotted to the challenge to have look and decided to give it a go I have only ever done a card like this once before and that was a while ago you can see it here so I thought I would have another go at it and this is what I came up with

Papers are a mix from MCS and my stash the lace is onone of my MCS cds and is just printed onto them top of the paper the image is a Sarah Kay digi now I know the theme was shades of grey but as I had used grey and silver in the papers aswll I thought for her hair and skin I would use normal colours just to lift it slightly and I think it worked I did try the blending trick with this image on the jeans but to be honest I think I used the wrong card and it didn't blend very well so went over it with the pens themselves I then put it through my cuttle bug and went over the edges with a make up sponge dipped in TH distress in soot black and the gems are some of the glue dots I made the other week just coloured with silver nail varnish I hope you like it I'm pleased with it must remember to use the right card in future though lol anyway it is being entered into the following challenge
