Take three colours

Our colour challenge at "Less is More" this week is to use three different colours or three shades of the same colour.
This first one uses grey, red and black.
The little digger is a file from Bird's Cards, cut on my Portrait machine. I used white card, coloured the sections with Copics and then glazed them with Anita's 3D Glaze once assembled. The scoop section was fixed with a brad so it can move up and down! The splats are from SU's Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.
The sentiment was computer generated!
This one, using the sketch from last week, employs die cuts from Cheery Lynn, inked with Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Inks. The embossed veining on the leaves is really effective. 

Today we are going to a singing day working on Bach's B minor Mass. It's such a super work and it's a while since I sang it, so it should be fun!
