S&D Monochromatic Color Challenge

Today begins the Monochromatic Color challenge over at the Sunflowers and Dragonflies Blog.

Feel free to create your own Monochromatic color card and post it on the challenge post on the S&D Blog for your chance to win! Anyone can play along in the challenge and we hope you will! There are no limits on time or supplies. Of course we’d prefer that you use images by Sunflowers and Dragonflies, but feel free to use other images. However, there is a bonus if you do use a Sunflowers and Dragonflies Image, you'll receive an extra entry in the drawing for the Nestability set! So, if you have any S&D stamps it would be worth it to use them! Please post a direct link to your challenge project from either your blog or an online gallery to the Sunflowers and Dragonflies Blog, so we can view it. If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword S&D6.

The prize awarded to this weeks lucky participant is a Scalloped Oval Netabiltiy set!


For this challenge I decided to stay with shades of brown for my card to match this S&D moose image. I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The layout I used is the August Sheetloads Sketch.

Stamps: Sunflowers and Dragonflies Creative Designs-Moose
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Paper: Smooth cream colored cardstock by Paper Reflections, Textured Cardstock by American Crafts
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Cuttlebug and Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Midori Double Faced Satin Ribbon in Velvet Brown, Fiskars Treading Water Border punch, Brads by Joann's Scrap Essentials, Oval Coluzzle, SU! Photo Corner Punch
Finished Card Size: 5.75" x 5.5"

This is definately one of my favourite cards. I LOVE what you did with the challenge, and the image. Monochromatic is hard to do, and you really worked it well. The layout, the ribbon, the CB bg--all wonderful.
