Today's challenge is to make a mono-chromatic card - pick a colour, use various shades, you can add white/black/metals but it should be primarily one colour. My sample card scanned very crooked -I'm sorry. It's a lovely rectangle in real life, lol.  and a card I made earlier for the vellum challenge also works well for this one  |

Hmmm.... Will have to think about this one. I think I have some paper packs that might work for this. Will look in the morning.

I have an all white card I made recently. I'm not sure I'll have time to complete any new cards today or for a week or so (besides the ones I have to get ready for my SIL before tomorrow - eek!) so I'll post this as a slight cheat  and hopefully you'll forgive me.

joblackford , that white on white is gorgeous!!! Here are the 3 cards I created this morning. When I saw the challenge I remembered I had some remnants of a pack of different greens, and I decided to try a take on your geometric design, Linda . Even managaged to work in some mesh I found deep in the drawer where I was looking for those papers!  CardTober #8 green by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Then I started looking around on my messy desk, and decided to use a couple of stamps before they were put away. So I now have two more cards:  CardTober #8 drifted scene by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I used a piece of fussy cut scrap cs as a mask to create the "snowdrift" bg with TH oxide ink. I then stamped the images and finished off with Nuvo white drops and glitter. Even covered up a greeting on the one stamp I didn't want to use here. This last one, I inked over the embossed bg, added some bling, and then just started layering:  CardTober #8 happy snowman by Gramma Dee, on Flickr

joblackford, I love your white on white card! grammadee, your 3 cards are fun, and I especially love the village with the snow. I had a slightly harder time with this challenge. My card is below. The fern paper is actually a light green, although it doesn't look like it from the photo.  |

scrapnnana, that is a lovely card. Sympathy cards are hard, but you have really created something beautiful here. I love those dark green border strips with the softer colours/patterns: gives the whole page an elegant feel.

Here's another one with the same supplies as the one above, except I added some green plaid pp and then decided to decorate the tree with Nuvo "garlands". Made a bit of a mess of that, but I kind of like the result.  Cardtober #8 green w plaid by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

I managed a card this evening  I enjoyed this challenge, right up my street thank you Linda
Digital vellum skills are improving, it's going to be on everything at this rate! I drew or made everything. Fonts are Novecento and Montic.
joblackford white on white is perfect for a wedding card, and yours is beautiful 
grammadee I like all your different versions, and smiled to myself at your description of just looking around your desk to see what was there. I love that snowman card though  I like your Nuvo garland too, garlands don't have to be perfect on a tree, ours never are!
scrapnnana those greens are beautifully soft against the starker lines, lovely card |

I like that you changed your lift from landscape to portrait, warrior1991. Is that silver cs? Or did you spritz that colour? |

I liked joblackford 's card, so I followed her example. That's really cool! I love the silver. Die cut words are my favorite way to add a sentiment. the look is so bold. |

It is cardstock, well paper. It is text paper weight. I call it "glimmer" paper.
My word die looks similar to hers. I don't remember where I got it from.

 I used the ink smooshing technique with distress oxides to make the background. I think salty ocean, faded jeans, and blueprint sketch. The snowflakes are die cut from some light blue vellum and the word is from SSS. The shadow layer looks silver/gray but it's actually a light grayish blue cut from some metallic paper from Nasco, I think. The dark blue cardstock is from bazzill. After using some tombow mono multi to adhere the snowflakes, there was some stickiness on the front so I dabbed some ultra fine blue glitter on it in those places. eta: now that I look it's kinda blah. lol. I might have to add a few sequins. |

Here's my monochromatic card for this challenge. I used a Cerulean Blue watercolor as my base color then created lighter and darker shades of it to keep things monochromatic. To help the white embossed sentiment "pop" against the background, I added a drop shadow around everything using a dark gray marker.  |

Oooh, 2 new blue cards. They're both gorgeous gale w and CoffeeCrafter! CoffeeCrafter I really like the effect of the drop shadow. It really does help everything pop. I might have to try that. gale w I think your card is lovely. You could add a little sparkle with sequins or nuvo drops, but I don't think you need to. |

grammadee, I like the Nuvo drops garlands, as well as your use of mesh. It is a beautiful card.
JaneB, your digital cards are amazing. That really looks like vellum held on with an eyelet. I love the wishies (as my kids always called them) and how the writing wraps around the corner.
warrior1991, I love the embossed glimmer paper. That's a lovely card.
Eddie-n-Harley, your card is beautiful. I love the papers, the sequins, and the phrase.
gale w, your ink smooshing looks great. Thanks for explaining the process.
CoffeeCrafter, your watercolor background is lovely. I appreciated reading about your process, too.
