Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog. So happy you dropped by.
There is a brand new Challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers. Jackie is our host this time around, and the Theme is Monochrome!!!
So, as usual, you don't have to make a card. It can be anything you like as long as you follow the theme.
Please do read the rules and take note of the 15 Challenge limit!!
Well, as is my want, I did make a card and I also did a tiny bit of stash busting or, work space clean-up really. I had a few scraps of paper lying about on my desk and decided to use them up. Luckily I found plenty of the same, or similar, colour and all of them are from Maja.
There's not a lot I can tell you about making this card. Mostly, all I used was the paper.
I either distressed or ripped the edges and simply layered them up.
The only embellishing I did was to stamp the greeting and heat emboss it.
I did try to add a few bits and pieces but couldn't find anything that I was happy with ..
.. and, in the end, I decided that I liked it just as it is.
Another fabulous Challenge from Crafty Cardmakers!

ReplyDeleteHi Marg, I hope this finds you and yours keeping well.. we are doing ok here.. Lovely card, the papers look wonderful.. love the contrasting patterns and the fabulous layers and distressed edges.. I hope you enjoy the rest of this week.. very dry here and hoping for some rain but the forecast is not very optimistic, but I will keep hoping!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to use your scraps, Margaret! I can't believe what an impact these layers make--so artfully arranged! I couldn't do that in a million years! Really a gorgeous card! Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. I love it when I get the chance to use up some leftover papers, need to do it more often. Happy crafty week, Angela xXx

What a fantastic card Margaret! I love the choice of blue for monochrome, it's so appealing! This card is so wonderfully open for any occasion and could be used for a male or a female, I should really try to create more cards like this! So many wonderful distressed layers going this way and that way, how I love your style! The die cut sentiment is so simple and yet it just pops off the page, what a wonderful finish to a fabulous design! sending hugs :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and of course my fave colours and papers. What more could you want. Just lovely.
