This week's Queen for the Day at SCS is Val, aka Greywolf. Val is so encouraging as well as a talented cardmaker. When I saw this card in her gallery, I thought of this stamp I recently bought and hadn't inked up yet.
LOL, when I ordered it, I didn't realize it was so BIG! This is only about a quarter of the image. It's a full size background stamp.
I inked it with different colors of green. I started with Certainly Celery at the top, Wild Wasabi in the middle and Gumball Green at the bottom.
The monochromatic colors work for the TLC challenge at SCS. Much more fun than basketball in my book!
Monochromatic Madness!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

I'm hoping we'll be seeing these soft Spring greens on the trees soon. They started out but they're staying put waiting for warmer days.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hi Bonnie. Love this done in the different shades of green. Such a perfect way to use a background stamp differently! Love the embossed frame. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous sympathy card, Bonnie! Love the image and the embossing around the edges.

This is such a beautiful card Bonnie! That embossed tulip frame perfectly encases these pretty monochromatic images! NJ!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea to only use a quarter of it to make a beautiful corner flourish, sweetly framed! This is a genius sympathy design, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I love the way you used a partial stamp for this card. It's really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing some green (barely) in the trees, too. Also, a few blades of green grass. Can't wait until it is all shouting with green. :-)
It's a gorgeous stamp and your shades of green make it even prettier!
ReplyDeleteSo simple and striking Bonnie! Gorgeous greenery and embossing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the trendy ombre look you've given your vines! Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteA perfect sympathy card, Bonnie - I always like them to be in muted colours with a simple sentiment and CAS design.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie! Love the greens you used!
ReplyDeleteThat must be a large stamp! I like that you only used a bit, it's beautiful and elegant the way you framed it. Happy Easter ,enjoy your three girls!
