Welcome back to Week 5 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and this week we are showcasing Pebbled Path, one of the 2023-2025 In Colors. I love this bold, dark neutral that is a wonderful alternative to Basic Gray or Basic Black when creating your projects.
Today I thought I would show some love to some old favorites from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to create a Winter themed design. I used the Aspen Trees Dies to create the silhouette background and used Very Vanilla cardstock as the contrast for this card design. I used Gold accents to help lift the design and add a touch of elegance. The bird image has been colored using a Blender Pen and Pebbled Path Classic ink to give the look and texture of feathers. The sentiment label was created with my favorite Tailor Made Tags Dies to complete the design. This design would work well for so many occasions and would be a great masculine card design.

It took me a little while to come up with this card design. I wanted to showcase this wonderful color without having it be to overpowering and dull. I love the contrast between the Pebbled Path and Very Vanilla layers and the hints of Gold just help add that little sparkle that completes the design. The detailed die cut layer makes a great background silhouette. For the bird, I stamped the image with Pebbled Path Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and colored the image using a Blender Pen with Pebbled Path Classic ink to give the look and texture of feathers. To add some texture to the die cut layer, I blended Pebble Path Classic ink around the edges and over sections of the trees using a Blending Brush. I then stamped a speckled background on several sections of this layer with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder to give the appearance of falling snow. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto the Very Vanilla tag label with Gold embossing powder and layered it with a Pebbled Path tag, slightly off setting them at an angle. I added a piece of Gold Trim to the sentiment tag to coordinate with the Gold embossing. For a touch of bling, I added several Gold Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins to finish off the design. So, what do you think? Have I convinced you to give Pebbled Path a try? I would love to hear what you think about his wonderful neutral color.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore using Pebbled Path when creating your own projects. It really is a wonderful neutral and it works so well with so many other colors.
