Group of 7 Cardmakers - June 2024 - Monochromatic

 This month the Group of Seven Cardmakers are playing with the technique of Monochromatic -  using only shades of the same color for our card designs.  It can be stenciling, stamping, layered die cuts - but everything has to be in shades of the same color - neutrals can be used as well but should not be the main color.

For my 1st card I used two shades of blue ink on the stenciled background and the die cut sentiment.

The stencil is Modern Mosaic (3 stencils that layer over each other) by Taylored Expressions.  The Sentiment stamp and die is from Written in Ribbons by The Greetery.  The frame die is from Rubbernecker.  The Happy is up on foam dots.  I used two shades of blue ink - Iceberg and Persian Blue and added 3 blue enamel dots, all from Altenew.

For my second monochromatic card, I used die cut flowers out of three shades of purple card stock.

I added Gold Liquid Pearls to the flower centers, I embossed the purple card base with Feather Spiral embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp and added 3 purple enamel dots on the background.

So, please check out the other talented GO7 designers monochromatic creations over at the blog.  

We'd also love to see what colors you use to make a monochromatic design - you can link up your card over at the GO7 blog!
