It's Monochromatic Week on the SP Stamps Blog! So.... I always have a hard time with Monochromatic. It's just a big challenge for me. I've purposely taken on challenges in the past, just to get more practice, but I still kinda freak when I see that "Monochromatic" on a schedule. Having said that, I went with browns. That is my comfort color - I love to make cards with different browns and tans (oh, and I wear a lot of browns and my house is decorated with lot of tans... You get the idea!).
I used Swirly Doos for the lines and the sentiment. And I did a little selective stamping! I only inked up the top line and I stamped it twice, making the space between them smaller than the actual set. I just wanted a tighter look for this card since I knew I'd have that flower I die cut at the bottom.
I added some Chevron Chase to the banner tails in watermark ink and adhered everything using foam adhesive.
I think that sentiment just really pops off the card! Are you inspired to make a Monochromatic card now?! I hope so!!!!
