I find I like the challenge of a monochrome design. Forces me to work with that color more. So I was happy to see a monochrome challenge on Squigglefly today and spent a little time in the craft room making a green card for this challenge. All of my cardstock is generic that I picked up at Michaels several years ago. The image is Beautiful Borders digi from Squigglefly and I colored it with green Copic markers. The green plaid that edges the stamped image is Japanese Washi tape. I also taped some cardstock with the Washi tape and placed it beneath the punched trim at the top, then trimmed the taped cardstock to match the scallops. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. My card is a standard A2 so that I can add it to my box of cards for OWH .

MY CARD Here is the card I made to share with you today. Makes me think of chocolate bunnies and Neapolitan ice cream - yum!   The base of my card is Tutu Pink cardstock from Bazzill. The pink paper with white dots is from Creative Memories, it is from a pack called Tone on Tone from their Delight's collection (hard to see them in this picture, but there are small white dots on the pink paper at the top of the card). The brown cardstock is also from Bazzill - Iced Cocoa. I used an EK Success

I had to try that technique again so I thought I would go with one of the colors that I find I steer away from. I guess everyone has their c"colors". Mine are pinks, purples, red & blues. I steer away from oranges, greens, browns and yellows. But I like to find color challenges that force me to use the colors I generally steer away from so when I went to my craft room today I decided to "challenge" myself. Since I h ad already used the technique on one of my colors I made myself got to the colors I am not naturally drawn to.  I like the card okay. I still love the technique, and the card is okay, for it's color - lol. But I do like the card all-in-all. And it will go in my box of cards for OWH. I know there are "orange" people out there :) The card is all generic materials - nothing special. For more specifics on the technique read my last blog post. Next time I use this technique I want to change it up slightly - I want to find some super nar
