Hello Everyone!
It is time for a new challenge at A Vintage Journey and this month the talented Tracy has
chosen Monochromatic as her theme.
In Tracy's own words 'I love monochromatic themes in artwork, I love the balanced look
it gives to a design. If you ever struggle with knowing what colours to use, this should
be right up your street - one colour alone or hues of one colour (plus black and/or white) - simple!
Our sponsor this month is the Funkie Junkie who have a $25 gift voucher for one
lucky person!
Monochromatic is not something I do very often, as I usually love to use lots of colour. I have been wanting to ink up my Tim Holtz Sideshow set of stamps, so I created a trio of simple black and white cards with just a touch of red on each.

and Tim's Thinlits - Handwritten Celebrate and Love sets.
The images were stamped in Ranger Black Archival Ink.
and highlighted with Glossy Accents, fussy cut from a separate
sheet of card and then attached.
I hope you like my set of fairly clean and simple cards - they were incredibly
easy to do, all completed in under an hour. I think they will be useful for
lots of different occasions.
Thanks so much for looking, I hope you will check out what my teammates have done
over at A Vintage Journey - you won't be disappointed!
I hope to see you again soon. Hugs, Anne xx

It _is_ hard to think of you not using color but you've proven you can do it well. Love the black & white with the pop of red on each of these unique cards. Love how you've used the notebook page edge trim and stamping the image over the print. Looks very dramatic, clean & wow! TFS
