Welcome to a New Year and welcome to my blog. You're just in time for Color Hues Challenge #9 ! I know many have enjoyed a long break from card-making and stamping over the holidays. Jump back into the fun of our challenge to use red and gray for your project.
I needed a few birthday cards for January, so I thought these colors would be great, especially for a couple of the men on my list
Using a monochromatic background really allows the red to pop! I combined some dies from my stash with a scripty sentiment and created a scene. Beginning with Dove gray card stock, I stamped pine trees in the background and die cut a trail of stars along the top. White die cuts of the stars are popped up. The stag was cut from white card stock, sponged with a very pale gray ink, and then covered with a wash of Wink of Stella.
I hope you will check out the wonderful projects of our team, and play along!

Yes, the red does pop! Fabulous card, Cindy!
This is a great card Cindy! Your placement of the pops of red is perfect! Makes your eye dance around the card as it should. That star die-cut is fabulous too! Happy New Year to you!
A perfect card for a winter birthday and a great take on the colours. :)

I must say you made red and gray look amazing! This is a most beautiful winter scene and perfect for a man or any nature enthusiast. I love it so much! Happy new year, Cindy!
This is gorgeous - so subtle yet so much amazing detail!!
Very elegant looking and the use of the star die is fantastic.
What a pretty, serene card for a winter birthday!! The colors you chose are perfect for this quiet, snowy scene!
I love the light and dark grey together with the pops of red. Gorgeous card!
This is a lovely card and a great masculine card too. I love the stars across the top and those pops of red with the birds and scarf.
