Midweek Motivation - CAS Monochrome

You've got me again - Jacqueline for your Midweek Motivation. This week we are asking for CAS Monotone - choose a colour and create a card just using tones of that colour - you may use sponging in this instance to achieve tonal graduation.

Today's card is a very simple one - take a look

I simply chose a chocolate brown coloured ink pad, made a moon mask from a post it note and inked up my brayer. Torn copier paper was used to create hills , the moon was removed and the trees stamped.

Hope this inspires you to take part in this week's challenge.

CAS: Monochrome Colors Scheme

Good morning crafty friends and welcome to another challenge at Make My Monday. 

Today's challenge is to create a Clean and simple card or papercraft project in

MONOCHROME

All you have to do is choose a colour and create your card or project using varying tone of that colour. Clean and Simple in this challenge means - clean cut layers and minimal embellishments. however, as we are asking you to use monochrome colours this week you may include sponging.

Here is some inspiration from the DT~

Midweek Motivation - Inspired by Nature

Hi all - Jacqueline here with this week's Midweek Motivation. We are hoping that you are Inspired by Nature and we are asking that you do not use your cute images this week - we will still comment on your entries if you do but you won't be considered for the top 3 in a couple of weeks - sorry!

Here is my card

And here is how I made it

Choose your stamp set.

Stamp your chosen images on to card stock.

Stamp some on to separate pieces of card stock

Sponge a blue sky and green grass on to the card stock. Ink the edges too.

Cut out the separately stamped images and attach to your card stock with 3D foam pads. Layer stamped card stock on to coloured card stock and a card base.

Your finished card.
