It’s a Monochromatic Cute Card Thursday

Posted on

by *Vicki* from Stamped Smiles

Hello friends!  Trying to work hard on projects and gettings things ready for next month.   So please excuse me if I seem a bit sporadic in my presence!

Stopping in to share a new challenge with you over at Cute Card Thursday!  This week the theme is “monochromatic” or some people say “monochrome” which simply means that your project mainly consists of one color or tone.   Stop by the challenge blog and be sure to check out the rest of the inspiration from the design team while you’re there!  Here’s my project for the challenge:

Vicki-CCT548-monochrome

I absolutely fell in love with this flower image from the My Favorite Things card kit that they came out with!  And I can’t say that I came up with this idea all on my own either, as it is very similar to one of the samples on the project sheet that comes with the kit.

It’s very simple to do, just white heat embossed the floral image and color areas in with a Copic marker and then I used a sentiment from Lawn Fawn to white heat emboss over vellum and the card stock again and then die cut the word out and attach over the vellum strip.  I had been requested to make up some wedding cards and so I’m trying to make up a few of them as this is something that I’ve completely missed in my card creating.  I need to remember that along with some others that I have been requested to make up that I just don’t think about doing when creating.  Taking mental notes for myself!

We look forward to seeing your creations this week!  Hope you can play along!

Thanks for stopping by friends!  See you soon!

  3. Vicki, I think this is one of my all-time favorite cards in the world! I love the softness of the color, the way the sentiment is done, the beauty of the flowers, the impeccably elegant shading, the pretty vellum – I could gaze upon your melon colored masterpiece all day long. It’s gorgeous! I hope to CASE everything about it one day, and hope it turns out 1/2 as beautiful as yours. GORGEOUSNESS! (psst! a quiet congrats) xx
