Clean & Simple Monochromatic

I was Blog-hopping not too long ago during the OWH 'CAS!' BlogSkip and got a little side-tracked, but found a Blog with a beautiful monochromatic card (not from the Skip) that I just HAD to try! Unfortunately I forgot what Blog it was :( but here's what I came up with.....

I used my Cuttlebug to emboss around the edges and added some tiny pearls. The sentiment is from SU.

This card will go in a pack I'm giving away for getting 150 'LIKES' on my Rainbows N Butterflies FaceBook page!! If you haven't seen it, please click on the side link and look around!!

OWH Challenge #5

Before I talk about today's card I have to correct the S&S link from day before yesterday... the correct link to see more cards and info on the challenge is www.owhstarsandstamps.org

NOW.... Today our challenge was to make a monochrome card. I've never even heard of this so this was truly a challenge for me! But after looking at the other entries, this is what I came up with....

I'm kinda bummed you can't see the true color... it's a really pretty lavender! The top and bottom layers are textured and I inked the edges for a little outline. The stamped saying is from SU. I also added dimension to the inked butterflies and top layer with some pop dots...

I was so frustrated yesterday because my internet was down and I couldn't submit a card for the challenge, but if you look on my FB page (link to the right), there are some kid's encouragement cards that I made a few months ago...

I hope you all are enjoying the Holiday Challenges as much as I am!!
