Challenge #63
Monochrome
This fortnights challenge Monochrome has been chosen by DT sister Josephine. I just love monochromatic cards, I think that is because I can put thoughts of colour matching to one side and just play big time with textures and techniques. Just before making these cards a little bit of happy mail fell through my door, some stencils and a layered peony rose stamp which I ordered from Crafters Companion. What better excuse to play with the stamp than this challenge :). I started off by choosing 6 colours for my card bases and checked that the Altnew inks I had matched up. Next I embossed the each of the bases with a large background stamp and heat embossed with white. Up next was to die cut the embossed layer 6 times, one for each card lol, the the plain mount. Finally I die cut my stamping layer, again 6 times and set about doing the stamping using the Tim Holtz stamping platform. Have to say, this stamping platform is one of my biggest buddies in my craft room, until I got this I could not stamp for toffee. I had such a lovely afternoon making these and am so pleased with the outcome, pretty and full of texture cards.
