Since gray is pretty much my favorite color, I was excited to take a jab at our neutral challenge. I immediately found the gray and white foam circles in our craft closet (yeah for American Crafts)! I needed more though. So I found some blue and yellow chipboard circles in a different container and figured I would just paint them. Well, that started to be a scary thought around 10 oclock last night when I got started on the layout, so I flipped a few over and found that I actually really liked the gray/brown raw chipboard color. Bingo!

I decided to painted a thin white border with acrylic paint, however after a few strokes, quickly decided I didn't like where that was going. Luckily when I went to wipe off the excess, it created a nice smokey outline. (Don't you just love a happy accident!)
