Meet the Neutrals Collection / Get Started with Basic Black

The Neutrals Collection makes up all the colors you need to work with the other combinations of colors.  Let's jump right in and get going.

Neutrals Collection:
Basic Black
Basic Gray
Chocolate Chip
Crumb Cake
Early Espresso
River Rock
Sahara Sand
Soft Suede
Very Vanilla
Whisper White

Let's go ahead and get started with our first color -- BASIC BLACK.
Creative Combination:
Basic Black
Cherry Cobbler
Baja Breeze
What a yummy color combo.  I love this one!
For this card, I used pearl accents, Cherry Cobbler seam binding (love it!) and the stamp set "Morning Cup.'  This is just a fun card you could send to a friend at any time -- especially if they were a coffee lover.

Getting Started Combination:
Basic Black
Daffodil Delight
Old Olive
This is another great color combo.  I decided to make a little 3X3" card for this one.  I used a couple of buttons from the Brights collection and some Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon.  The stamp set is 'The Nicest Things.'

Dynamic Duo:
Basic Black
Basic Gray
With this color combo, I could have gone with a very formal card (which I kind of did) but decided to mix it up a bit by making it a small card, like you'd attach to a birthday gift bag.  I used Basic Black taffeta ribbon, a couple of rhinestones, and black EP on the Basic Gray layer.  The stamp set is a great one that comes with a second stamp (for a thank you).  The set is called 'Engraved Greetings.'
