Monochrome

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Monochromatic

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I had a bunch of fun with this one as I stepped outside my comfort zone and went a little bit mixed media.  I started by stamping a French Script in several places over the background.  I then stamped the frame image three times and added several butterflies, all in the same Aqua Mist ink.  I splattered on some gold and black splatter from Picket Fence Studio.  I stamped the sentiment with the same Aqua Mist ink and added some gold thread and some gold nuvo enamel drops to finish everything off.

You can see the shimmer on that gold splatter in the photo above.  I also swiped on some of that same platter in onto my sentiment panel for some extra shimmer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
