SACC36-Monochrome Winter Post

Pepesmom · 10-29-2009, 08:06 PM

Hello, everyone! I am filling in for Sharon since she's currently VERY busy in her real life. It looks like she'll be back at her post in December! Whoo Hooo!!!

I thought I'd give everyone a little break this week - a little time to clear out the holiday themes and do something a little different before our next round of holidays. This week we're using:

Whatever you want!

With restrictions!

Your design should be monochromatic!

Neutrals can be Whisper White or Very Vanilla. Unless they are part of your monochrome sequence, gold and silver should be limited to a single embellishment or embossed design.

You should also use 3 shades of your chosen color. For example, I chose blue and used Brilliant, Ballet and Bashful Blue along with Whisper White.

Here's my sample:

I can't wait to see what you come up with. Please put SACC36 in your keywords and then come back here and post a link so we can find it easily. Have fun and have a great weekend!

HollyLogic · 10-29-2009, 09:21 PM

very cool sample, Trina--and a great challenge!

yapha · 10-29-2009, 09:28 PM

Great challenge! I'm hoping to play this weekend.

skdeleeuw · 10-29-2009, 11:37 PM

What a fun challenge! If I could pull myself away from this dang computer, maybe I could get this done before the weekend is over!

Pepesmom · 10-30-2009, 09:50 AM

You know, since this challenge does not use specific colors, past In Colors are an option if you want to use them.

I think I'm stretching the rules a bit HERE. When sprayed with homemeade "glimmer mist," the Soft Suede does look sorta gold ....

yapha · 11-02-2009, 03:00 PM

Here's my pink Medallion for this challenge.

Pepesmom · 11-04-2009, 10:23 PM

Love it, Yapha. I've been toying with multiple colors on the M stamp, too. It sure is a lot of fun to work with.

JulieA · 01-07-2010, 03:41 PM

A day late and a dollar short, but I did the challenge! Thanks for the great idea Trina. I thought it would be hard to get three shades of the color on the card, but I love the result!

Vintage Vogue in Oranges

This is beautiful, Julie! and there are no time limits here!

gratefulstamper · 01-08-2010, 05:03 PM

Thank you for the inspiration. I created this card using going grey, basic gray and basic black, Great Friend, the new punch border pinking hearts and punch corner pinking hearts, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder and Sizzix Beautiful Butterflies. Ellen Barner

Ellen, what a beautiful double slider! Great work!

gratefulstamper · 01-11-2010, 07:55 AM

I saw Mary Fish's blog using Night and Day paper (Bye, Bye Holiday Mini Catalog - Stampin' Pretty - My Fun & Chic Stampin' Up! Boutique), so I used this for a January Birthday card. I CASEd the double slider from a swap card made by Stacy Cranston a while ago. Thanks for the comments. Ellen

JulieA · 01-18-2010, 10:02 PM

couldn't resist trying this in purples. here's my card, same layout as the oranges, but the accessories are a bit different...

Purple Friend
