Hi everyone, Saturday again already and time for the BasicGrey Challenge. This week there's a wonderful sketch to follow by our lovely Anthea which can be flipped, stretched etc., as long as the sketch is still visible and at least one BasicGrey product must be used. Fantastic inspiration on the blog, the girls have done wonders with this sketch, all so different and inspiring, we all loved it and I enjoyed making a long card for a change. Hope you can join us this week.I finally got to use this lovely SN stamp that I've had for a while and I've coloured her with distress inks and sponged and painted the background then added some Stickles. The patterned background paper I've made by stamping BasicGrey Pom Bitsy stamps in various colours of distress inks all over the white paper and then sponging with Antique Linen over the top, unfortunately not too much of it is showing due to the humungous ribbon and bow! The other layers are BG Wisteria and some vellum. See you tomorrow with CC card and enjoy your Saturday. Chris x

This is so cool...and different from your usual style. I was blown away by the DT cards using Anthea's sketch this week. They all turned out so different, but they are all stunning. I loved that :)
Chris this is so unusual.....really lovely and very original. Love it. Hope you're well

This is fantastic Chris...... as usual! I love the colours and the way you've outlined the image is amazing. I sit thinking, 'shall I have a go at what Chris does?' when colouring my image, then the thought scares me, lol! I think my attempt would look like a Jackson Pollock painting in comparison!!
Have a lovely weekend ;o)
BTW, G got a merit in that history project ;o) xx
Morning Sweetie,
This card is glorious! I can imaging you covered in ink... what a fab way to play. The colours on this card are great! Love the graduation on the sentiment.
