Gray Day

I was challenged to create a monochromatic outdoor scene and chose this stamp set and a gray color. Besides gray, what other color would you suggest for this monochromatic card? 

Stamps:

   In the Meadow

Paper:

   Gray Granite A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Basic Gray

   Gray Granite

Technique:

   Monochromatic

   Masking

Accessories:

   Blender Pen

   Watercolor Pencil

   Adhesive

   Removable Dots

First, I stamped and masked the deer. You must fussy cut the deer to create a mask. FYI: Once I create it, I leave it in the stamp box to use a few more times before I have to create another one if needed.

With the mask in place, I then stamped the mountains.

Next, I stamped the flowers and the grass.

I then removed the mask.

Next, I colored or shaded some areas, using a Gray Watercolor Pencil. 

I then went over the coloring with a blender pen. This smooths out the pencil line and blends the color.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the Gray Granite card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
