Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
This week the challenge is
MONOCHROME
Pick a color, any color, and create something with it! We will look forward to seeing what you make!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I made a Thanks card using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. Whenever I think of Monochrome, I always think of old black and white photos so I stuck with it ;-)
I started by inking the edges of plain white card to use for layering.
I then used some White Embossing Powder to heat emboss a piece of Watercolor Paper using a Halftone Cling Stamp to create a resist.
I then blended the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink around the edges before using a brick wall mask, made by die cutting a Mixed Media 3 Thinlits Die, to add more interest. I used a Wildflowers Cling Stamp, inked using the same Hickory Smoke ink for the background.
I used a Wildflowers Die and a Thanks die cut for the focus and finished with a pice of Washi Tape and a White Twine Bow.
So now it's YOUR turn! choose a colour and get crafting :-)

If you want to see this girl have a panic attack, just tell me to work in gray! Yiiiipppppes! And yet I am so impressed and amazed at how beautiful your card turned out! It has a really sophisticated loveliness to it and all of those textures and patterns look incredible together. I especially dig the black Washi! This just goes to show how truly skilled you are and I really love this piece.
Simply AMAZING!
Stunning card, Lols! Love the black and white! It's so elegant! Hugs, Sandra
There is a lovely dreamy quality to your card. I love how the delicate flower and the slender font of the sentiment go together so well, against your fabulous background.
Thank you for sharing your lovely creation in our monochrome challenge.
