I think there’s something so elegant about monochromatic cards.  During my team’s cyberstamp night tonight (yes it’s still on, I’ve just ducked out to post here – hehehehe) we were challenged by Georgina (our lovely Cybermistress for the evening) to make a monochromatic card.  I decided I’ve been making way too many pink cards lately so I went for green.  It’s a pretty straightforward card but what you can’t see in the scan is that the flower motifs in the middle are clear embossed.  I stamped the flower motifs with Old Olive classic ink onto some Brushed Gold cardstock and then clear embossed.  Yes the classic ink is a dye ink, but because I was stamping onto coated cardstock it stayed wet long enough for me to emboss.  Looks so much nicer in real life than on the blog, sigh, wish I could make the scan look better.

So.  All products used to make this card are by Stampin’ Up! and are available for purchase through me at: angelasargeant@gmail.com

Products used:

Mostly Flowers stamp set
French Script background stamp
Old Olive cardstock
Old Olive inkpad
Brushed Gold cardstock
Certainly Celery cardstock
Certainly Celery inkpad
Antique Brass Hodgepodge (photo anchors & brads)
1 3/8″ Square Punch
Clear Embossing Powder
Heat Gun

Hmmm, I should also add the Stampin’ Up! colour wheel to this list as I wouldn’t have put Olive and Celery together had it not been a suggested monochromatic combination on the Colour Coach.
