Dynamic Duos #6: Regal Rose and Basic Gray

It's the second week of the month, so for the Dynamic Duos challenge, the theme is "Subtly Yours".  For this month, we have chosen the colors Regal Rose and Basic Gray.

I think the official definition of the second week color challenge is "soft, romantic colors".  I don't think a circus seal is particularly romantic, but I love the soft look of this card - using a stamp I typically go bold and bright with.

Something that is not evident in the above photo is the embossing technique.  I was playing on Pinterest the other day and found this link to "In and Out Embossing".  I love her amazing samples - the technique is so simple, so obvious (but not to me!) and a wonderful effect.  Here's a close-up of my card, using one of the same embossing folders that she demonstrated.  I am looking forward to playing with others!

I do hope you choose to play along with our subtle color combo.  Check out the amazing design team samples, play along and head back to Dynamic Duos to link up and let us see your creation!
