So very much in Sweet Sugarplum

Today's swap card could be considered to be monochromatic...

mon·o·chro·mat·ic

ˌmänōkrəˈmadik/

adjective

1. containing or using only one color.

It is using only one color (Sweet Sugarplum) in combination with a natural (Very Vanilla)

I especially like how this demo added a little enamel heart at the end of the tail on the word "you".  Very cute!! Sometimes it's the little details that make a card. And this certainly made me smile

Brayering Fun

Today I am going to share a card with you that I've created in stages... Meaning... One day I brayered the background, but didn't like the colors that day and just put it aside.

And today I made it into this card:

I am actually very happy how it turned out! That just shows not all days are the same ;-) and our tastes change a bit.

BTW, the flower was stamped in white Craft ink and heat embossed in white. I then used my white Chalk marker and highlighted some areas. Now if you do that, be sure to clean your marker as it picks up the ink form where the background was brayered... it won't do that if you just use the marker over colored cardstock...

Happy Mail

Saturday I got what I call "happy mail"... a check inside a handmade card. Thank You Gwen for making me smile! It's such a nice layout, that I decided I need to share the card with you today already!

And when I say today already... this is what I mean.. I love this layout and color so much, that I want to "CASE" the card and I will do that tomorrow! But I wanted a separate post for this beauty to honor it properly ;-)

So be sure to come back tomorrow so you can see what I will come up with... and maybe you'll get inspired by Gwen's card too and pull out your supplies and play along. Consider yourself challenged...there might be a little prize for the first one to post her sample to my Facebook Page...

Have fun being crafty!
