Lexi's Creations Says Monochromatic!

     I simply adore monochromatic cards and I love it when I get a chance to do one as a DT member.  Lexi's Creations wants us to do mono projects this week, and I picked red -- a color I rarely use except at Christmas or for Valentines. This being February, you'd think I was worn out on red but apparently not.  :-D

     The image is "Mummy Bug", one of Lexi's designs from Fairy Dust Crafts.  She was perfect for a red monochromatic!  Sketch came from Stella Says Sketch.

                                                

     I colored the image with ProMarkers and used glitter gel ink on the dew drop falling from the flower.  I also added glitter ink to the mulberry-paper flowers and the centers of felt border piece.  Papers are from my scrap stash -- as is everything on the card.  I'm using up scraps so I can have an excuse to buy new things!  :-D

     Final touches were the bow tied from red, polka-dot ribbon and the teeny-tiny rhinestones on the image piece.

     Challenges for this card:
Catered Crop -- Red
Cupcake Inspirations -- Inspiration photo with red, white and black
Die Cuttin' Divas -- Use at least 2 of these: Red, Black, White or Pink
Going Grey w/ Scrap Creations -- 3 layers
Ladybug Crafts Ink -- Spring is in the Air
Papertake Weekly -- Black, white and red
Stamps R Us -- Anything Goes (their last challenge - oh, no, say it ain't so!)


     I hope your weekend was wonderful and that you had some time for joyful pursuits.  Please come and join the challenge at Lexi's Creations this week.  We'd love to see what you make.  Remember, you can use any color you like as long as it's a monochromatic.  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie
