Less is more - Monchrome

Bit late with my entry to the Less is More challenge again this week, even though I made the card last weekend!

The challenge this week is monochrome. Choose a colour and stick to it but still keep to the general principle of clean and simple.

The last bit is always the hard bit when you have so much stuff in your stash and you want to put it all on your card.






I cut out two oval nesties in dark brown and light brown card and scalloped oval nestie in bronze mirror card.

I then made some flowers and leaves using shapeabilites from some brown patterned paper and distressed them using tea dye distress inks. I sprayed the flowers with Crafters Companion gold glitter spray and finished them off with a gold gem.

The sentiment is from the Clearly Handstamped collection and was stamped using walnut stain distress ink.

  2. Well done! I'm glad you made it in; I've missed several and usually had the card done for days; so I know how it is.
    The flowers on your card are so pretty, the glitter spray really added to their beauty.
