monochromatic cards...

Hello and happy new year!  Popping in with a couple of cards.  One card is for Freshly Made Sketches and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of something new.  The second card is for Color Throwdown and Just Us Girls (new challenge to use dies).  Let's have a look.


 The Simon Says Stamp IG challenge is to make a white on white project so I decided to use the FMS layout and a new SSS die called Forest Ring for my card.  I die cut the Forest Ring four times and layered them together.  Then I applied glossy accents and lots of Rock Candy glitter.   The snowflakes are from an older SSS die set called Merry & Bright.  I also covered those with gloss accents and Rock Candy Glitter.  I used my current favorite PFS post edge rectangle die to die cut the vellum and glued it to a white cardstock base.  Then I added the forest ring die cut, the snowflakes and the sentiment from an older SSS stamp set.   It is gloomy here in Western Washington so this one did photograph very well, but it is pretty in real life.

For the second card I finally used all the Herbarium layering dies from Birch Press Design along with the FMS colors and created a thinking of you card.  I threw in some black glitter cardstock for a little bit of sparkle.  The sentiment is from a new Birch Press Design stamp set called Vintage Everyday Greetings.  I can see myself using this new stamp set alot this year!  





Well, that's it for me!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
