"Less is More" Week #257 - colour

 Happy New Year!  Welcome to our first Less is More challenge of the year, which is to use only neutrals.  My first card uses three (not fifty!) shades of grey.  SU butterfly is white embossed onto light grey textured cardstock.  I've inked it with Distress Ink Hickory Smoke and matted it onto dark grey cardstock.
My second card uses browns and creams to showcase a new Joy die I recently treated myself to.  The dressage horse is diecut from brown card and added to a hammered cream stitched circle cut with a Simon Says die.  The kraft square is edged with a brown Copic and the horse is attached with Pinflair dimensional glue (hence the fifth leg shadow!).
