Thanks Ever So Much

Wow it's been a long time since I've played in some challenges so I'm overdue!  Here's a card I made inspired by some of the soft muted colors in a few inspiration photos I've seen hopping around this week at my favorite challenges.


I used some sticky strip and distress glitter to create the glittery stripes on my panel.  I've been a bit obsessed with gray lately so this card fits right in with everything else I've been cooking up.
