Monotone

By
Good morning everyone, March is marching on and it's Monday again - time for another challenge over on the Make My Monday challenge blog. This week the challenge is to create a clean and simple card using one colour and it's various tones - MONOTONE.
Here is my card


My colour of choice was Island Indigo, I inked my stamp and then stamped it on to scrap paper before stamping on to the card stock. The sentiment was stamped over the top - full strength. A little sponging was added to the edges along with some stamped butterflies. A few sparkly gems were added for a finishing touch.

All materials used are Stampin' Up
Stamps: Love and Sympathy, Precious Butterflies (retired)
Ink: Island Indigo
Card Stock: Whisper White, Island Indigo
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Sponges
(All current Stampin' Up items can be ordered through me and delivered direct to your door - please see the details above in the top tabs - thank you).

I do hope I get to visit all your blogs to see your CAS Monotone cards, there's more inspiration waiting for you over on the blog - the DT have made some beautiful cards this week - perhaps I'll see you there. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    I love the tranquil feel of this card and your sponged and butterfly-embellished frame really draws attention to that beautiful verse. Vicky x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
