Just Add Ink - Monochrome 2

BAJA-BREEZE - Oh how I love thee!

Monochrome at Just Add Ink this week really made my head hurt - I just didn't think it would be as hard as it was. I'm not sure if technically I'm meant to have some of the white, but I justify it by saying that if you lighten every colour it will eventually go back to white? Or if you spill some bleach on it it will definitly go back to white! LOL

In the end, I quite enjoyed this challenge and I like my card! I hope my friend does too!

I made thi card with a particular friend in mind, and as I had no sentiment suitable, I decided to make my own by printing this one from my computer. Handy!

Don't you just adore these deluxe big striped grosgrain bows! So so so yummy!

I also have another Black & White Monochrome card here. Pop around to see that one too!

Just Add Ink #38

At Just Add Ink this week we have a "Just Add...Feminity" kind of challenge remembering October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

- I started with a piece of Regal Rose cardstock and White Embossed the Inspired By Nature stamp.
- I then rubbed all over it with a Sponge Dauber inked in White Craft Ink.
- Then I couldn't resist....I crumpled it up into a ball to give it a worn, distressed look. (love it!)
- Next, I gently rubbed Regal Rose around edges with another Sponge Dauber. I like the effect - sort of "shadowy".

What do you think of it?
