Creation Station: Monochromatic

 

Hello there!  This month the designers for Creation Station are creating monochromatic projects.  I love the look of monochromatic cards.  They are so pretty!

For my card- I started by embossing a piece of Pretty Peacock Card Stock using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.  Then I carefully dragged the Whisper White Craft Pad across the embossed images to highlight them.  Next- I added a bunch of Whisper White Craft Ink splatters to the embossed image using a Water Painter and the White Craft Ink Refill. The edges of the embossed layer were distressed using a pair of Paper Snips.

Using a Blending Brush, Pretty Peacock Classic Ink and a piece of Pretty Peacock Card Stock- I added a bit of ink to the card stock to make the color deeper.  This served as the background for the Sending sentiment as well as the tiny flowers.  

The sentiment was the die cut using the Sending Dies and coordinating Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set and attached to the card using staples.  Birthday Wishes was stamped in Pretty Peacock Classic Ink and stamped onto a Basic White scrap (which was then die cut using the Sending Dies).  

For the bow- I cut a small piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4" Bordered Ribbon in half and adhered it to the top left corner of the card using a glue dot.  A tiny Linen Thread bow was added to the top of the Lost Lagoon Ribbon for added interest.  

The card was embellished using Loose Silver Sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you've enjoyed my monochromatic card! Click the NEXT button to see what Rachel has created!
