Monochromatic for A Vintage Journey

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.  

I just love how dramatic the black and white look!

I gathered the items I wanted to use - Tim Holtz Sideshow stamps, Tim's Torn Notebook die,
and Tim's Thinlits - Handwritten Celebrate and Love sets.

I am not going to take you through step by step, I think you can see how I used the items.
The images were stamped in Ranger Black Archival Ink.

I think this one might just be my favourite... I love that wheel...

On each of the cards, the red was done in Festive Berries Distress Ink Marker Pen
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
