Basic Grey challenges

Hello and hope you're having a wonderful Saturday... I'm a bit late posting my Basic Grey Challenge card... managed to actually get a lie in (which always has to be taken up LOL)! We have a wonderful colour challenge to inspire you...

This was a wonderfully quick card to make and might make a few more for those extra visitors over the coming holidays. As the colours are quite soft I went for a shabby chic card. The bauble I have stamped directly onto pink paper and the decorative band is in a blue it just looks a little silvery. I have gone over the band with my spica glitter pen. I have inked up the embossed card so it looks more cream coloured. The leaves are die cut from BG paper and embellished with ribbon and button. Click the images for a close up...
