The Flower Challenge #64 Monochrome

I hope you’ve all had a happy and healthy start to the year and that you had some time to relax and most importantly craft of course! 

As ever the 4th of the month means it’s time for our new challenge over at The Flower Challenge and this month we want to see monochrome! So, in other words, either make a card in black and white, or using one colour and differing shades of that colour only. 

I made a super simple card using the Sizzix Floral Lattice die set. I used the front and back of pieces of Kraft card to give the two shades and die cut each layer twice and layered them up to add some depth and shadow. I was going to use a clear wink of stella glitter pan to emphasise the colour difference and add a sparkle to one layer, but couldn’t find it!

I can’t wait to see your creations this year and thank you to everyone who takes time to visit and comment on my blog, it’s very much appreciated. Sadly, life is so hectic at the moment I don’t have the time or energy to visit you all as often as I would like to, finding time to craft is difficult enough!

I’ve stolen the following guidance from the challenge blog! 
Please don't forget to use your Florals as always and as the MAIN feature on your card.
Only 6 other challenges allowed as well as our own.
Also please take a few minutes to read our rules as you may lose out on winning a prize sometimes too. Bought flowers or ones just cut out from design paper alone are NOT allowed. If in any doubt please do ask.

  6. I didn't realize there was a difference between the front and back of kraft, Cara. It worked beautifully with the wonderful die cut.
