Have you ever used solely neutral colors to bring out the beauty and depth in your stamped creations? Well let’s kick it up a notch and show you just how beautiful those stamped creations can be, without any real color at all!
This month’s Bring Back Beautiful Challenge is being hosted by the ever-so-talented Beate Johns and she’s challenging us to go neutral! To get ready for this challenge, she whipped up a handful of cards with a neutral feel and each one was a breathtaking as the next! Here’s a look at the card she created for this challenge…
HOW TO PLAY: Use neutral shades in your creation – shades of grey, brown or even black and white. Link up your BBB Challenge Creation here on this post using our Inlinkz widget. If you upload your creations to Splitcoaststampers, please use the keywork BBB08. You have until March 31st to enter. As we unveil our challenge next month, we’ll share our True Beauties — those card makers who wowed us with this challenge! Winners will be featured right here on the Flourishes blog and will recieve a Bring Back Beautiful Winner blog button to proudly display on their blogs!

LET’S MEET OUR TRUE BEAUTIES!!
Gosh, there were so many beautiful entries — we found it really, really hard to cut it down to three. We originally had 10 top picks! So, let’s get to it! We loved the elegance of this one by Steph D. — the soft damask background, little roses and beautiful vintage lace!
Isn’t this one below by Jean fabulous? That bow is to die for and her crisp design just screams beautiful!
And, last but not least, we loved the romantic feel of Cathy’s creation below! The colors are beautiful, the layout is divine and the antiqued edges just bring on a vintage feel!
