2016 January Card Sketch Challenge - Monochromatics

[paddlegal]

Happy New Year! I've been stewing on this idea for a few weeks wondering how this would go over. It's not a card sketch but rather a challenge to work with your favorite color range. I've been looking and pinning ombré and monochromatic cards like crazy. So here's the deal: make a card any way you choose with stamps, patterned papers, paints, washi tapes, gelatos, chalks...whatever you desire. But first choose a color and explore all its hues and values and see what you come up with. Other than a color way to work with, no rules here. Have fun!

I had fun fooling around with these two cards and their different looks.

Good challenge Farley. I'll be making cards again today and will do this.

So pretty!!

Oh, the grey card is a good masculine one. Fun challenge, it's nice to have variety.

[paddlegal]

Thanks all!

Marianne that was my hope...to make a masculine card. I rarely do.

played with my new Color Bursts the other day, finally had time to make some cards out of some of the pieces! I made this one with the Monochromatic challenge in mind.

Very cool! I'm going to give my color bursts a try tomorrow! Great idea!

[mpizzazz]

Wow, Nancy, they sure are bright, your card is stunning!

Fun challenge, Farley. Nancy, that card is gorgeous.

beautiful cards

[paddlegal]

Yes Nancy!!! Fabulous card! Those color bursts are so rich and intense. I love how you can verify variations just using one color. Thanks for playing. Is the white design an embossed stamp?

Yes, I think it's a JudiKins background stamp embossed in white.

Your card takes my breath away, Nancy. Great design and color.

[pamcook]

I agree with everything they've said, Nancy. I love that rich blue!

Nancy made me want to have a play with my Brushos.
