I hope I can find time to play with these colors some more - this is such a beautiful combination! As soon as I saw that Mary had included Basic Gray, I knew I had to find an embossing folder I could use with white ink. I think it looks so much like carved stone when done with Basic Gray.
My die cuts were done from Gold Foil and watercolor paper. Then I used the Bermuda Bay and Fresh Freesia ink to watercolor. The Bermuda looks rather light so I added a bit more Bermuda as a layer behind the greeting. I tried added a few small Bermuda leaves but really liked this version better.
I'm looking forward to see what other themes you come up with for these colors.

Gorgeous! Love how you embraced the dark gray in the background. The elements are so beautiful with the gold. Very nicely done with these challenge colors.

The gray 3-D embossing folder was an excellent choice because it really gives the other challenge colors the spotlight. The colors look fantastic together. The gold accents adds a posh touch.

Chris, you and that white ink! You always show us such amazing techniques; thank you! I adore the look of the embossed leaves on the slightly lighter gray background, and really must give this a try. I love the mottled colors on the leaves!
